A stranger wrapped in dark clothes stumbles into a tavern, his eyes are covered and his head cast low. He orders a drink and takes a seat at a table in the corner. Two orcs approach him, and threaten to kill him unless he gives them his belongings. The stranger removes his cloak, his eyes flaring with Arcane light and he envelopes the two orcs in a powerful spell. After taking care of the orcs, he apologizes for the mess, and leaves to his room.

Infused Magic
-

Whereas Wizards get their magic through study and practice, and Sorcerers obtaining it through birth, and Warlocks obtain their magic through a pact with a higher being, A Mage on the other hand has their magic infused into them when they come into contact with a powerful magical object.

Whether the object they came into the presence of was Divine, Fiendish, or Mystical in nature, it nevertheless infused them with magic, transforming them from and ordinary adventurer into an Arcane Mage. Because a Mage's creation is very circumstantial, and the type of Magical Object could have been of any type, Mages are as varied as they are powerful

Magical Channeling
-
Sorcerers, Wizards, and other such users of the arcane, are conduits for its immense power, but only a Mage is a true channel of the Magical arts.

Mages channel arcane directly into and through their bodies, becoming virtually one with magic at the cost of spells known. No two mages found will be the same, each is unique in how they channel the arcane within them, and they are as varied as they are immense.

<div style='margin-top:25px;'></div>

**Spellcasting Ability**
-
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Mage spells since you learn your spells through dedicated learning of your powers. 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.

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

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
<div style='margin-top:25px;'></div>

**Spellcasting Focus**
-
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your Mage spells.

**Cantrips**
-

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the Mage spell list. You learn additional Mage cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Mage table.

**Spell Slots**
-

The Mage table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Mage spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, 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 + your Mage level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level Mage, you have three 1st-level and one 2nd-level spell slot. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six 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 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 in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
