### Spellshaping
Spellshaping is the act of forming spells impromptu, molding the weave and winds of magic to your whims. You shape this force using nothing but your own will.

#### Will
Your Will represents your ability to shape magic to your whim. You have a pool of Will as shown in the Spellshaper class table. This pool refills upon finishing a long rest.

#### Shaping a Spell
You shape a spell on your turn by choosing one Foundation, one Shape and any number of Spins. Shaping a spell requires no action from you. Once shaped, you can cast that spell until the start of your next turn and it is treated as any other spell. The level of a Shaped spell with a cost of 1 or higher is equal to one half your proficiency bonus rounded down, plus 1 for each Spin added. A shaped spell with 0 cost counts as a cantrip.

#### Casting a Shaped Spell

Casting a shaped spell does not require a spell slot, instead it costs an amount of Will equal to the total cost of Shape and Spins. The action required to cast a shaped spell is defined by the Shape used when shaping that spell. When cast, a shaped spell requires a spell attack roll. The Shape will dictate whether this is a melee or ranged spell attack.

If a Spin states that a spell requires a saving throw, then that replaces any attack rolls you would otherwise make. A shaped spell can only cause a creature to make a single saving throw, if it would require more than one you choose which saving throw to apply to the spell. 
If a Spin states an area, that area begins at a point within range of the Shape.

#### Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting stat for your Summoner spells. You use your Intelligence modifier whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Shaped spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

**Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

**Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
