Features:

Spellcasting - You learn spells by study and by copying them into your Spellbook
- Cantrips
- Spells
- Spellcasting Ability
- Spellcasting Focus
  - You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your sorcerer spells, normally taking the form of Wands, Staves, or Orbs. In addition, for Spells that you haven’t Prepared you also require to be holding your Spellbook in the process of Casting it as another Material Component
- Learning and Preparing Spells
  - You can add Wizard Spells of a Level you have access to by finding them written down somewhere else and spending 2 Hours plus 50GP per Spell Level to your book, the cost accounting for the cost of materials to copy the spell’s language (having to re-write it in your own script) as well as the time to practice casting it from your Spellbook.
  - Each of these spells must be of a Level which you have Spell Slots of equal to or lesser value, starting with only 1st Level Slots at 1st Level and increasing by 1 every odd level of Wizard that you’ve taken
  - Every time you finish a Long Rest you can select a number of Spells equal to your Wizard Level + your Intelligence Modifier: You can cast these Spells without needing to have your Spellbook and if your Spellbook should ever be destroyed you can carry on casting them or adding them to another book. If you have a second Spellbook while your first is still intact then you can halve the Gold Cost (halved again if it’s a part of your School Focus) when transferring the Spell from one Spellbook of yours to another
- Spell Slots of 1st Level or Higher
  - You regain all of your Spell Slots after completing a Long Rest. However, after you complete a Short Rest you can regain a number of Spell Slots equal to half your Wizard Level (rounded down). So a 5th Level Wizard can regain 2 1st Level Slots or a 2nd Level Slot
- Ritual Spellcasting
  - You can use this Ability a number of times per Long Rest equal to your Proficiency Bonus. To do so select any Spell that you have in your Spellbook which has a Casting Time less than 10 minutes. You can utilize this Ability to spend 10 minutes to cast that Spell and gain its benefits without expending a Spell Slot.
School Focus
- Choose one of the Schools of Magic (Conjuration, Necromancy, Evocation, Abjuration, Transmutation, Divination, Enchantment, or Illusion). The cost of adding Spells of this type to your Spellbook is halved, both in time and gold cost. Then at 5th and 9th Levels you can select an additional School of your Choice for this Feature to apply to, and whenever you pick one of these Schools you can add one of the appropriate Spells to your Spellbook
Ability Score Improvement
- When you reach a Level with this Feature you can increase any Ability Score by +2 or two separate Ability Scores by +1 each

Subclass: While many Wizards have gone to school for more formal trainings, such as the common Lore and War variants, there are still many who have taken their first Spellbook by more aggressive or mischievous means. Though most of the differentiation between Wizards come from the Spells they store in the book there are some that instead take their knowledge and began to apply them across the board for less scholarly intentions

Arcane Scoundrel: There will always be those who seek a life of skullduggery and to enter the type of life of personal benefit over the quiet place of order that other Wizards are accustomed to. The magical talents of them commonly have come out without even their intention, a charisma to them that few would expect
- Arcane Scoundrel Feature: Charmer
  - After talking to a non-hostile Creature that understands your language for at least 1 Minute and who has been within 5m of you for the Duration you can influence them magically. You send out your Magic and they must make a Will Save against your Spell Save DC or become Charmed by you during the next Round. On this round you can convince them of an idea, such as how you’re innocent of a crime they think you did or how they really want to check on the nearest trap door. If they go to do so during this period they don’t notice what you did and don’t remember why they decided to do so in the first place. You can use this ability a number of times per Long Rest equal to your Intelligence Modifier.
  - You can also add the Sleep Spell to your Spellbook, you can add 2* your Intelligence Modifier to the total when you cast this Spell

You can use this Ability a number of time per Long Rest equal to your Proficiency Modifier. This Illusion mimics your Actions and movement, following as you move without requiring input from you and regularly switching spots with you to confuse enemies

  - You can spend your Bonus Action when casting any Spell of the Enchantment School that targets one Creature to target an additional one (as if they are the only target of the Spell, and must meet the same requirements) as part of the Spell’s casting, which is treated as a separate casting of this Spell

Blade Mage: In tradition of Elves there are those who train their bodies along with their minds. A Spellbook can only be used some of the time and so while most Wizards view having their Spellbooks gone as a huge detriment to their chances of survival the Blade Mage eagerly charges forward in this moment, a blade in one hand and their focus in the other as they cut down all foes in their way
- Blade Mage Feature: Spellblade
  - You gain the Ability to use your Bonus Action to cast a specialized Magic known as “Spellsword” - this functions like a 2nd Level Spell for you with only a Material Component. It allows you to summon a magical aura around you that grants you assistance in combat, lasting up to 1 minute or until you reach 0HP or become unconscious. You can utilize this a number of times equal to your Intelligence Modifier, regaining all uses after finishing a Long Rest, or 1 use after finishing a Short Rest, up to your Proficiency Bonus.

Elementalist: These Wizards have taken to the powers of power itself, exchanging more myriad spells with the type that can strike down foes faster and faster as the Wizard gains access to more Spells. They are commonly mistrusted among the community, a special tenor kept up against Wizards who do nothing but copy down Spells that do damage
- Elementalist Tradition - Controller
  - You can select a number of Creatures in the area affected by a Spell you’ve cast that deals Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, or Thunder Damage and requires a Save, up to an amount equal to 1 + your Intelligence Modifier. These Creatures automatically succeed on the Save and do not take any Damage if they would have normally taken some on a Successful Save

If that Spell Requires an Attack Roll you have Advantage on it and if it requires a Save, everyone who you choose makes one has Disadvantage. You then maximize the Damage Dice Rolled. You regain the use of this ability on a Short Rest

Lore Scribe: This is the classic, common, traditional Wizard. They have spent their lives studying all types of spells and secrets of the magical world, with some of the most well informed Wizards being brought into the fold of great leaders or powerful merchants to serve as advisors in exchange for access to the vital resources of a wizard. Still others find their way through academia their whole lives, the pursuit of knowledge with their fellow mages bringing them their greatest joy

- Advancement - Master Writer
  - You can adjust your Spellbook to compensate for any kind of Magic. You can add Spells from other Class Lists to your Spellbook, up to a number of Spells equal to your Intelligence Modifier. To copy these Spells they must be 3rd Level or Lower and it will cost 10* the normal cost (in both time and gold) to transcribe it into your Spellbook. From there it becomes a Wizard Spell for you, and because of its eclectic nature no other Wizard can try and copy it from your Spellbook as it comes across as complete nonsense unless they are also a Lore Scribe and spend a number of years equal to the Spell’s Level to do so

Materialist: There is a concept that only magic can produce, Transmutation, the ability through the use of magic to fundamentally change the properties of matter. The Wizards who focus on learning and manipulating these properties sometimes fall into the conceit of turning lead into gold but others find more reasonable interpretations of the magic, making great strides in the world around them, such as those of the Rochellian Dynasty

Materialist Feature: Solidified Magic

The first time you cast a Spell of 1st level or higher after completing a Short or Long Rest, you can simultaneously use a piece of its magic to create a magical ward on yourself that lasts until you finish another Short Rest or until its HP is brought to 0. The ward has an amount of HP equal to 2* [your Wizard Level + your Intelligence Modifier]. Whenever you take damage, the ward takes the damage instead. If this damage reduces the ward to 0 HP, you take any remaining damage remaining
Once this ward’s HP has reached 0 you can spend a Spell of 1st level or higher to refresh its HP, with additional HP granted by 2* the Spell Slot level. This counts as a Ritual Spell, requiring 10 minutes of prep. If desired you can spend multiple Spell Slots at once in this ritual, increasing the ward’s HP by the same amount before.
You can add Feather Fall to your Spellbook without any cost

Materialist Improvement: Stone of Changing

Necrologist: Although greatly feared and looked down upon in most cultures there are those who both for good and for ill have taken to the study of creatures whose bodies can no longer be maintained by themselves, and so these corpse doctors advance the fields of medicine (if good) or soul magic (if evil). Of course many argue that this is simply a nonsensical moral qualm that people should rid themselves of but it doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon, even as Necrologist demonstrate their powers
- Necrologist Feature - Reaper
  - When a Creature dies within 20m of you, you can use your Reaction to absorb some of their Soul Essence, regaining HP equal to 1d6 + your Wizard Level.

Psionic: Some wizards have discovered the ancient text of awakening the mind itself, following the tradition of Psionics to hone the magical potential of their own minds. Sometimes called psions or mentalists, these wizards interact with the multiverse through the lens of their psionic aptitude and awareness. They channel this magic by focusing their minds as often as through their Spellbooks, and by doing so they can transcend their physical bodies, adopting forms of pure thought, casting spells psionically to bypass the need for components, and perceiving the world with a broader range of senses.

Theurgist: There are those Divines that claim arcane magic as their domain, for magic is as much a part of the fabric of the cosmos as wind, fire, lightning, and all other primal forces. Just as there are Divines of the sea or warfare, the arcane arts feature their own divine patrons. Such Divines often have clerics, but many gods of magic bid their followers to take up the study of wizardry instead. These religious magic-users follow the arcane tradition of Theurgy, and are commonly known as theurgists. Such spellcasters are as dedicated and scholarly as any other wizard, but they blend their arcane study with religious devotion.

Theurgist Feature - Channel Arcana

Once per Short Rest you can channel your connection to the Divine with your Action, and at any point within the next 10 minutes you can utilize this ability to add 1d6 to any Ability Check or Save, but you must say so before you Roll.

War Wizard: A variety of arcane colleges specialize in training wizards for war, the militaries of the times regularly relying on these specialists to turn the tides of battles. The tradition of War Magic blends principles of evocation and abjuration, teaching 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.
