Convergent Paths

As you progress along the spellshaper path you continue your dedication to spellcasting in whatever form you gained it. At 1st level you choose whether your levels in this class count as pact magic or full caster levels.

For example a level 5 wizard/level 5 spellshaper could have the same spell slots as a level 10 wizard, and a level 5 warlock/level 5 spellshaper could have the same spell slots as a level 10 warlock.

SpellShaping

At 1st level, you learn your first spellshaping formula. Select one of the following spellshaping styles. You may learn and use basic formulas. A shaped spell gains no benefit for casting at higher levels, they may however be shaped at a higher level when created. When selecting a spell to be shaped the spell may not be higher than 5th level.

Some shaping formulas change the slot level required to cast a spell, this can never reduce a slot below 1st level.

Quickshaping

Beginning at 2nd level, when you cast a spell using a spell slot you can shape it for this casting only using any formula you know. Once you do this you can’t do it again until you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level in this class you may use quick shaping twice between long rests.

You may also pick one of the following options
