#### Eukrasia 
Sages are experts at modifying spells to suit a long term purpose rather than an initial gain. You can use a bonus action to gain Eukrasia until the end of your turn.
While under the effects of Eukrasia:

- Spells you cast that deal damage and have a duration of Instantaneous deal no damage the turn you cast them. Instead, the spell gains a duration in rounds equal to the number of damage dice you would roll. A creature affected by a spell this way takes damage at the beginning of it's turn equal to a roll on that spells damage die plus your proficiency bonus for the duration. This damage is one of the types the spell would normally deal.

- Spells you cast that restore hit points and have a duration of Instantaneous restore no hit points. Instead, any creatures that would have restored hit points gain that many temporary hit points, plus your proficiency bonus.

- You can cast a spell with the casting time of a bonus action as an action.

#### Noulith
You gain access to a special type of spell focus called a Noulith. A Noulith is actually a collection of four foci that work in concert, drawing runes and pulling the weave into shape, allowing you to extend your magical influence and modify spells on the fly. These foci float around you when not in active use but require a free hand to direct and operate.

Any spells with a range of touch cast through a Noulith gain a range of 30 feet.

#### Spellcasting 
Your magic is in tune with the fundemental forces of creation, tailored to your need through mental fortitude and complex mathemagical understanding. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting.

##### Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice from the Sage spell list. You learn additional sage cantrips of your choice at higher levels, learning a 3rd cantrip at 4th level and a 4th at 10th level.

##### Spell Slots

The Sage table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Sage 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.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell cure wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast cure wounds using either slot.

##### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the Sage spell list.

You learn an additional Sage spell of your choice at each level. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Sage spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Sage spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

##### Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Sage spells. Your magic comes from manipulating the magical weave through a combination of complex mathematics, strength of will and noulithic modification. 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 Sage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

##### Ritual Casting

You can cast any Sage spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

##### Spellcasting Focus

You must us a Noulith as a spellcasting focus for your Sage spells.

#### Kardia
Starting at 2nd level, you are able to form a magical bond with a creature using your Noulith and use the excess magic from casting spells to assist them. You gain a pool of healing energy that can restore a total number of hit points equal to your Sage level x 5.

Once on your turn, you can declare a creature you can see within 30 feet to be your Kardia. When you cast a spell using a spell slot of 1st-level or higher, you can tap into your healing pool as a part of that action to restore a number of hit points to your Kardia up to the level of the spell cast plus your proficiency bonus.

A creature remains your Kardia while it is within 60 feet of you or until you use this feature on another creature.

#### Learned
Starting at 2nd level, your studies have braodened and given you a greater understanding of the world. Choose two of Arcana, Medicine, Nature or Religion. You gain proficiency in your choice. If you already have proficiency, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability checks you make with your chosen skill.

#### Ability Score Improvement

You can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

\pagebreak

#### Logical Mastery
Starting at 18th level, your understanding of magical manipulation of forces is unparalleled. When you cast a spell with a 3rd-level or lower spell slot, that spell takes effect as if you had cast it with a spell slot of one level higher.

#### Enlightened
Starting at 20th level, your understanding of your magics allows you to bend the rules of reality just a little.

Spells cast through your Noulith with a range of less than 60 feet gain a range of 60 feet.

A creature that would take damage at the start of it's next turn due to the effect of your Eukrasia ability takes additional damage from all sources equal to your proficiency bonus.

A creature with temporary hit points granted by your Eukrasia ability gains resistance to the first instance of damage it suffers on a turn.

- Any creature types
- Current emotional state
- If it is capable of casting spells and the highest level spell it is capable of casting.
- A damage resistance or immunity it has, if any.
- A damage vulnerability it has, if any.

#### Reinforced Barriers 
Starting at 10th level, you can weave together protective barriers with incredible proficiency. When you cast a spell that restores hit points while under the effect of Eukrasia you can treat that spell as though it had restored the maximum number of hit points.

Once you use this feature you cannot do so again until you have finished a short or long rest.

#### Waste Not

| 9th | Dispel Evil and Good

#### Planar Counsel
Your studies into the inner workings of the divine and planar grants you special protections. You can't be charmed, frightened or possessed by an aberration, celestial, fey, fiend or undead.

\pagebreak

When you restore hit points to a creature with your Kardia feature, you can extend this protection to them so long as that creature remains your Kardia, up to a maximum of 1 minute. If the target is already charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature, the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.

Starting at 10th levels, your protective wards and magic can lash out at aggressors.

The triggering creature makes a Dexterity saving throw against your Sage spell DC. A creature takes 2d6 force damage on a failure. If the triggering creature is an aberration, celestial, fey, fiend or undead they instead take 2d8 damage plus your Intelligence modifier, half as much on a success.

- Cretures of your choice in the area that make an ability check or saving throw before the end of your next turn can treat a roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

You can use this feature as an action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and must finish a long rest before you can use this feature in that way again.

#### Economy of Energy
Starting at 6th level, you are versed and practiced enough to maximize restored energy with clever application. Your pool of healing granted by the Kardia feature is increased by 2 times your Sage level.

When you are restoring hit points to your Kardia, you can restore any number from that pool so long as that healing does not bring your target above one half their maximum hit points.

#### Surging Life 
Starting at 10th level, you reflexively twist life energy from your injured foes. When you deal damage to a hostile creature, if you do not restore hit points to your Kardia from your healing pool they regain a number of hit points equal to one half your proficiency bonus.
