Arcane Kenning

1st-level mage feature

The presence of arcane magic registers on your senses like a faint pressure. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any magical presence within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the school used of any magic you sense, but not the exact spell used.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.

Scroll Scribe

1st-level mage feature

Your unconventional approach to the arcane extends to the usage of spell scrolls. The gold and time you must spend to scribe a spell scroll is halved.

At 15th level, your experience with scrolls expands to the point you can use a spell scroll with a spell from any class's spell list.

Additionally, provided you have the original spell scroll or a copy of the spell, you can create spell scrolls with spells from any class's spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Mage table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your mage spells. To cast one of your mage spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of mage spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the mage spell list. When you do so, choose a number of mage spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your mage level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level mage, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd-level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of mage spells requires time spent studying your spells, be they in a proper spellbook, a small, handwritten grimoire, or even a loose collection of notes: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your mage spells, since you learn your mage spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your mage spells.

Discipline Spells

Each discipline has a list of associated spells. You gain access to these spells at the levels specified in the discipline description. Once you gain access to a discipline spell, you always have it prepared. Discipline spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you gain a discipline spell that doesn't appear on the mage spell list, the spell is nonetheless a mage spell for you.

Armiger Discipline

Those who follow the Armiger Discipline are those who have chosen to take a more martial approach to their magics than other mages, fully mixing the two in an effortless blend.

Evasion

7th-level Armiger Discipline feature

Arcane energy enhances your reflexes and lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Arcryst Quill

10th-level Armiger Discipline feature

You have learned to use weapons and arcrysts in accord. While holding a weapon that you are proficient with, you can use a bonus action to embed an arcryst into its form to create an arcryst quill. You can use an arcryst quill as an arcane focus and to perform the somatic components of spells.

Additionally, when you create an arcryst quill, you can choose a damage type. When you use your Arcane Surge feature, weapon attacks you make with an arcryst quill deal an additional 1d4 damage of the chosen type for a 1st-level arcryst, plus 1d4 for each arcryst level above 1st.

Rift Walker

14th-level Armiger Discipline feature

Your spells have begun to rip tears in the fabric of reality, allowing you to traverse short distances without moving across the intervening space. When you use your Arcane Surge feature, you can teleport to an unoccupied point within that spell's range before or after the bonus action attack.

Arcane Retaliation

18th-level Armiger Discipline feature

Your body, down to your very bones, has been flooded with arcane energies. When you take damage from a creature you can see, you can use your reaction to cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action at that creature. As part of the same reaction, you can use your Arcane Surge and Rift Walker features.

Justicar Discipline Spells

Arcane Smite

3rd-level Justicar Discipline feature

You have taken up the calling of a wandering judge and executioner. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal additional force damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage.

The extra damage is 2d4 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 2d4 for each slot level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 8d4. The damage increases by 2d4 if the target has a spellcasting ability, to a maximum of 10d4.

Aura of the Arcanum

7th-level Justicar Discipline feature

Magical energy lies so heavily upon you that it forms an arcane barrier. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have resistance to damage from spells.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Arcryst Rupture

10th-level Justicar Discipline feature

You have learned to craft your arcrysts in such a way that they are exceedingly volatile. You or someone else can use their action to throw an arcryst towards a point they can see within 60 feet, where it shatters, violently releasing the stored arcane energy.

Each creature within 5 feet of the chosen point must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 force damage for a 1st-level arcryst, plus 1d4 and 5 feet for each arcryst level above 1st.

Until the start of the next turn of the creature that used an arcryst, spells cannot be cast within range of the chosen point.

Occultic Rebuke

14th-level Justicar Discipline feature

Your Aura of the Arcanum feature begins to punish those who strike at you. Whenever a creature hits you with an attack or a spell, that creature takes force damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1) if you're not incapacitated.

Arcane Mantle

18th-level Justicar Discipline feature

You can momentarily imbue yourself with raw arcane power, transforming into a champion of the arcane. As an action, you can surround yourself with a swirling cloak of magic energy. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed and begin to hover just above the ground.
• You can cast your mage spells without verbal, somatic, or material components, provided they do not have a gold cost.
• When you cast a spell of 2nd-level or higher and use your Arcane Surge feature to make a weapon attack as a bonus action, the attack deals additional force damage as though you had used your Arcane Smite feature and expended a spell slot of one level lower.

After you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Magister Discipline

Those who follow the Magister Discipline are those who have chosen to expand their study of the arcane beyond that of other mages; though they don't begin to approach the full might of true wizards, they have their own tricks to improve their prowess.

Arcryst Improvisation

10th-level Magister Discipline feature

You have learned to use your arcrysts in a manner far more flexible than other mages. As an action, you can crush an arcryst in order to cast a 1st-level spell that you did not have prepared.

At 14th level, this feature can be used to cast a spell of 2nd-level or lower, and at 18th level, it can be used to cast a spell of 3rd-level or lower.

Transposing Spell

14th-level Magister Discipline feature

Your unorthodox training in the arcane arts allows you to modify your spells, altering their shape and substance to suit your needs. Each time you cast a spell, you can choose to apply one of the following effects to it:

---

• Converge. If the spell requires an affected creature(s) to make a saving throw, you can change it to require a melee spell attack roll or a ranged spell attack roll instead. Make a single attack roll against all targeted creatures. If you change the spell into a melee spell attack, you can only make the attack roll against creatures within your reach.
• Diverge. If the spell requires you to make an attack roll against one or more creatures, you can change it to require a saving throw instead. The saving throw is your choice of Dexterity, Constitution, or Wisdom. If the spell targets a single creature, you can target an additional number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus.

Additionally, if the spell deals acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder damage, you can change the damage type to another of those types.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to twice your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once) and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Waste Not, Want Not

18th-level Magister Discipline feature

Your time learning the arcane arts and manipulating the essence of the weave have blessed you with the good fortune of no spell being wasted. When you cast a spell and it misses its target or fails, you regain one expended spell slot. The slot must be of a level lower than the spell slot used to cast the initial spell.

Human Empire Mage by Mikhail Palamarchuk

Scrivener Discipline

Those who follow the Scrivener Discipline abstain from what they view as the hectic, and often messy, art of spellcasting themselves. Instead, they prefer to focus on, in their eyes, the neat and elegant approach that is spell scrolls.

Ink Stained

3rd-level Scrivener Discipline feature

You gain proficiency with calligrapher's supplies and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any checks you make that uses this proficiency.

In addition, you gain the ability to transcribe a special type of spell scroll known as an Arcane Talisman, the appearance of which is up to you. An Arcane Talisman functions like a spell scroll, but can be used by any class, even if it does not have a spellcasting feature.

A creature in possession of an Arcane Talisman can use it to cast the spell stored within. If the spell requires an attack roll or saving throw, it uses your spell attack modifier and save DC. If the spell requires concentration, the creature that used the Talisman concentrates on the spell.

You can use an action to dispel an Arcane Talisman, causing it to crumble to dust.

Arcane Mulligan

7th-level Scrivener Discipline feature

Your familiarity with your Arcane Talismans is such that you can reabsorb the energy stored within. You can use a bonus action to dispel an Arcane Talisman and regain spell slots equal to the level of the spell stored within.

For example, if you dispel an Arcane Talisman of 3rd-level, you can regain a 3rd-level spell slot, a 2nd-level spell and a 1st-level spell slot, or three 1st-level spell slots.

Arcryst Empowerment

10th-level Scrivener Discipline feature

You have learned to imbue your Arcane Talismans with the arcrysts you create. When you craft an Arcane Talisman, you can choose to fuse an arcryst into the Talisman, increasing the level of the stored spell by the level of the arcryst.

Runic Cipher

14th-level Scrivener Discipline feature

You have developed a mystic cipher that can bestow spells on others. While a creature with the spellcasting or Pact Magic feature is in possession of an Arcane Talisman, it can expend a spell slot to cast the spell stored within using its own spellcasting ability.

When cast in this way, the spell counts as being from their spell list and the Arcane Talisman is not consumed.

Ink Heart

18th-level Scrivener Discipline feature

Your mastery of scrivening has etched ink into your very soul. When you cast a spell through an Arcane Talisman with a casting time of 1 action, you can cast it with 1 bonus action instead.

Once you have used this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Arcane Skirmisher

7th-level Spellslinger Discipline feature

You begin to weave your Arcane Shots into your flesh, giving you greater mobility. Immediately after you make an attack with your Arcane Shot applied, you can use use your Arcane Surge feature as though you had cast a spell.

Arcryst Transience

10th-level Spellslinger Discipline feature

Utilizing the arcrysts you create, you can imbue faint traces of swiftly fading magic into your thrown weapons and ammunition. As a bonus action, you can crush an arcryst and infuse a thrown weapon or a case of ammunition with the stored power.

For 1 minute, the thrown weapon or ammunition becomes magical. While it is magical, it gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls for a 1st-level arcryst, a +2 bonus for a 3rd-level arcryst, and a +3 bonus for a 5th-level arcryst.

If you imbue a thrown weapon with this feature, it returns to your hand immediately after it is used to make a ranged attack.

Transposition of Thunder

14th-level Spellslinger Discipline feature

The energies you weave while teleporting have begun to create deafening peals of thunder when you move. When you use your Arcane Surge or Arcane Skirmisher features, a thunderous boom sounds, which can be heard up to 100 feet away and directs all eyes towards its origin.

The next time you use one of your Arcane Shots, you have advantage on the attack roll and creatures have disadvantage on saving throws made to resist its effects.

Twinned Shot

18th-level Spellslinger Discipline feature

You have mastered your magical shots to such a degree that you can split them in twain without losing its potency.

When you use an Arcane Shot that, you can choose a second target that you can see within range that's within 30 feet of the first target. You can use the same Arcane shot against that target as a bonus action without expending a spell slot.

Once you have used this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Trespasser Discipline Spells

Mage Hand Legerdemain

3rd-level Trespasser Discipline feature

Your pilfering of magical secrets has allowed you to learn the mage hand cantrip, as well as ways to modify it; you can make the spectral hand invisible and use it to perform the following tasks with it:

• You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature.
• You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature.
• You can use theives' tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range.

You can perform one of these tasks without being noticed by a creature if you succeed on a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the creature's Wisdom (Perception) check.

In addition, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to control the hand.

Now You Don't

7th-level Trespasser Discipline feature

Your ability at infiltrating places allows you to go unseen even when all eyes are on you. You learn the pass without trace spell. It counts as a mage spell for you and Intelligence is your spellcasting ability with it. You can cast it once without expending a spell slot and cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Additionally, when you use your Arcane Surge feature, you can forgo the bonus attack to instead become invisible. This invisibility lasts until the end of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell.

Arcryst Fist

10th-level Trespasser Discipline feature

You have learned to use arcrysts to amplify the capabilities of your mage hand spell, allowing it to momentarily become corporeal. When you cast mage hand, you can crush an arcryst as part of the casting to empower it.

While it is amplified, it can carry an additional 5lbs for a 1st-level arcryst, plus an additional 5lbs for each arcryst level above 1st. You can also use it to make a melee spell attack against a creature in range, dealing 1d4 force damage on a hit for a 1st-level arcryst, plus 1d4 for each arcryst level above 1st.

Smoke and Mirrors

14th-level Trespasser Discipline feature

Your mastery of misdirection allows you to use your mage hand as a ghostly assistant through which you can channel your spells. When you cast a spell with a range of touch or self, you can cast it from your mage hand's space instead of your own.

If you are hidden or invisible when you cast a spell with this feature, doing so does not reveal your location or cause you to become visible.

Artifact Swiper

18th-level Trespasser Discipline feature

Due to your extensive experience with finding and stealing magical artifacts, You have advantage on Sleight of Hand checks made to steal or pickpocket a magical item, spell scroll, potion, or other magical object, and can do so as a bonus action granted by your Arcane Surge instead of attacking. Additionally, whenever you successfully steal a magical item, you can use your reaction to instantly end the owner’s attunement to the object (if any) and instantly attune yourself to the object (if required).

When you attune to an object in this way, you instantly know how to use the object or artifact, although if it is an object that requires Awakening, it is attuned Dormant to you. If you already have three objects attuned to you, you can designate one to un-attune to once succeeding with this ability. You do not reveal curses in objects by attuning in this way.

Wandcarver Discipline

Those who follow the Wandcarver Discipline are those who have eschewed the finer arts of spellcasting in favor of crafting specialized wands capable of siphoning and storing spells, as well as firing simplistic blasts of raw, arcane energy.

Spell Siphon

7th-level Wandcarver Discipline feature

You have learned how to siphon off the magical energies in spells and store them in your wands. You can perform a special ritual to expose a wand you crafted to the forces generated by the spell in an attempt to copy it.

You do this by holding the wand against the source of the spell, be it a a spell scroll, a wizard's grimoire, or a creature casting the spell directly into the wand. The spell doesn't have have to be on the mage spell list, but it must be of a level you can cast.

If the source is a spell scroll, you must make an Intelligence check as though you were trying to cast the spell from the scroll. On a success, the spell is siphoned into the wand and the scroll crumbles to dust.

If the source is a spellbook, you must make a DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) check to see if you can siphon it. On a success, the spell is copied into the wand. The spellbook's owner retains the ability to cast the spell as normal.

If the source is another creature, it must expend a spell slot to cast the spell and it must touch the wand for the duration of its casting. The level of the spell slot used determines the level of the spell imbued into the wand.

Wands imbued in this way are empowered with a number of charges, determined by the spell's level, as shown in the Wand Charges table below. While you are holding a wand with a siphoned spell, you can expend 1 of the wand's charges to cast the spell at its lowest level.

You can expend additional charges to cast the spell at a higher level. A wand with a siphoned spell regains all expended charges each day at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles to ash and is destroyed.

Warder Discipline

Those who follow the Warder Discipline are those who have taken the decision to protect others to the extreme, becoming a wall of flesh between them and the ravenous fangs of the world that would tear them asunder.

Gathered Hatred

7th-level Warder Discipline feature

Your will to divert harm away from your ward is unbreakable. As an action on your turn, you can imbue your words with magic before unleashing a roar of condemnation at those who would do those under your aegis harm.

Each creature of your choice that can see or hear you within 30 feet must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or fall under your sway for 1 minute.

Any effected creature who targets a creature other than you with an attack or a harmful spell must first make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or lose the attack or spell.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Arcryst Bubble

10th-level Warder Discipline feature

The dedication to the defense of others you have demonstrated has shaped how you utilize your arcrysts. As an action on your turn, or as a reaction, you can throw an arcryst at a point you can see within 30 feet of you, where it shatters and instantaneously forms a protective, spherical bubble with a 5 foot radius that lasts until the start of your next turn.

While the bubble persists, creatures inside it have total cover from ranged attacks and spell effects that originate outside the bubble and creatures outside the bubble have total cover from ranged attacks and spell effects that originate inside the bubble.

If a creature in the bubble attempts to cast a spell targeting a creature outside the bubble, it must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the spell is cast as normal, but the target is instead the creature who cast it. On a successful one, the creature must first use its movement until it is at least 10 feet away from the bubble.

Castle of Stone

14th-level Warder Discipline feature

You have begun to personify the immovable, nigh-impenetrable bastion that shields all. As an action on your turn, you can transform yourself into a steadfast wall, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:

• Your movement speed is halved.
• You have resistance to all damage.
• Creatures have disadvantage on saving throws made to resist your Gathered Hatred feature.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

The Bulwark Abides

18th-level Warder Discipline feature

The unbreakable force of your will defies all that would come between you and your wards, even death. While your Castle of Stone feature is active, having 0 hit points doesn't knock you unconscious. You must still make death saving throws, and you suffer the normal effects of taking damage while at 0 hit points.

However, if you would die due to failing death saving throws, you don't die until your transformation ends, and you die then only if you still have 0 hit points.
