School of Divinity
Many wizards study the arcane and learn to manipulate the Weave for their benefits. Arcane traditions are usually formed to focus study in one particular area of magic, but it seems that the magic of the gods themselves isn't found to be popular by study. Clerics and Paladins chosen by gods usually earn their power directly, there may be priests that congregate with a god and are not chosen, thus requiring study of the manipulation of divine magics. One may have this godly relationship but does not require it, such as the long forgotten figure Karsus, who learned to manipulate the divine and become a god himself, or so they say.
Divine Knowledge Initiate
When you choose this tradition at 2nd level, you may choose your first god to focus your study under. You gain access to the Cleric domain spells the chosen deity may give, choosing one primary domain and a sub-domain. Your primary domain spells are always prepared, not counting against your total prepared spells, but at the cost of only adding one spell to your spell list when gaining a level in this class. The sub-domain spells become available to learn when gaining a level in this class and are not always prepared. Cleric spells from either domain count as wizard spells for you.
Manipulate Favor
When you choose this tradition at 2nd level, you gain significant understanding of manipulating the power of divine favor. When you or an ally you can see make an attack roll, you may use your reaction to add a d4 to the attack roll or subtract a d4 from the attack roll of an enemy you can see. You may do this an equal number of time to your intelligence modifier per long rest.
Gods Arcanum
Beginning at 6th level, whenever you cast a spell learned or prepared from known domains, you may cast it without spending a spell slot by instead invoking divine power instead of pulling from the Weave. This effect may only be done once per spell slot level up to 5th level. You regain the ability to use this ability again after a long rest.
Domain Mastery
At 10th level, you have fully understood your main domain. Your main domain become a mastered domain and all its spells are permanently prepared. You may now learn any spells from the Cleric spell list when learning spells from levels gained in this class.
Occupy Lesser Divinity
At 14th level, you learn to manipulate divine magic into yourself, gaining resistances and powers similar to a quasi-deity. You gain the effects listed below, all of which replenish on a long rest.
- You gain temporary hit points equal to your wizard level.
- You gain resistances or bonuses based on your mastered domain, as shown on the Quasi-Divine Table.
