Class Features

• As a Wizard, you gain the following class features.

1st level: Spellcasting

• As a student of arcane magic, you have learned to cast
• spells. See the Player’s Handbook for rules on
• spellcasting. The information below details how you use
• those rules as a Wizard.

• Cantrips: You know three cantrips of your choice from
• the Wizard spell list (see the “Wizard Spell List” sidebar).
• Rather than choosing, you may start with Light, Mage
• Hand, and Ray of Frost. Whenever you finish a Long Rest,
• you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature
• with another Wizard cantrip of your choice.

• When you reach levels 4 and 10 in this class, you learn
• another Wizard cantrip of your choice, as shown in the
• Cantrips column of the Wizard table.

• Spellbook: Your wizardly apprenticeship culminated in
• the creation of a unique book in your possession: your
• spellbook. It is a Tiny object that weighs 3 pounds, and it
• contains 100 pages, which can be read only by you or
• someone casting Identify. You determine the book’s
• appearance and materials, such as a giltedged tome or a
• collection of vellum bound together by twine. The book
• contains the spells you know of level 1 and higher. It
• starts with six level 1 spells of your choice from the
• Wizard spell list. Instead of choosing spells, you can have
• your book contain the following spells: Detect Magic,
• Feather Fall, Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Sleep, and
• Thunderwave. Whenever you gain a Wizard level after 1,
• add two Wizard spells of your choice to your spellbook.
• Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have
• spell slots, as shown on the Wizard table. The spells are
• the culmination of arcane research you do regularly.

• Spell Slots: The Wizard table shows how many spell slots
• you have to cast your spells of level 1 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.

• Prepared Spells of Level 1+: You prepare the list
• of spells of level 1 and higher that are available for you to
• cast with this feature. To do so, choose four spells from
• your spellbook. The chosen spells must be of a level for
• which you have spell slots. The number of spells on your
• list increases as you gain Wizard levels, as shown in the
• Prepared Spells column of the Wizard table. Whenever
• that number increases, choose additional spells from the
• Wizard spell list until the number of spells on your list
• matches the number on the table. The chosen spells must
• be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if
• you’re a level 3 Wizard, your list of prepared spells can
• include six spells of levels 1 and 2 in any combination,
• chosen from your spellbook. If another Wizard feature
• gives spells that you always have prepared, those spells
• don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare
• with this Spellcasting feature, but those spells otherwise
• follow the rules in this feature.

• Changing Your Prepared Spells: Whenever you finish a
• Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells,
• replacing one or more of the spells there. Preparing a new
• list requires time spent studying your spellbook and
• memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make
• to cast a spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each
• spell you add to the list.

• Ritual Caster: You can cast any spell as a Ritual if that
• spell has the Ritual tag and the spell is in your spellbook.
• You needn’t have the spell prepared, but you must read
• from the book to cast a spell in this way.

• Spellcasting Ability: Intelligence is your spellcasting
• ability for the spells you cast with your Wizard features.

• Spellcasting Focus: You can use an Arcane Focus or your
• spellbook as a Spellcasting Focus for the spells you cast
• with your Wizard features.

2nd level: Scholar

• While studying magic, you also specialized in an academic
• field of study. Choose one of the following skills in which
• you have proficiency: Arcana, History, Nature, or Religion.
• You have Expertise in the chosen skill.

3rd level: Wizard Subclass

• You gain a Wizard subclass of your choice: Abjurer,
• Diviner, Evoker, or Illusionist. Subclasses are detailed after
• this class’s description.

• A subclass is a specialization that grants you special
• features at certain Wizard levels. For the rest of your
• career, you gain each of your subclass’s features that are
• of your Wizard level and lower.

4th level: Ability Score Improvement

• You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another
• feat of your choice for which you qualify. As shown on the
• Wizard table, you gain this feature again at levels 8, 12, 16,
• and 19.

5th level: Memorize Spell

• Studying your spellbook for 10 minute, you can expend
• mental and magical effort to memorize a spell. Choose
• one spell of level 1 or higher from your spellbook that you
• don’t have prepared. You now have that spell prepared
• until you use this feature to prepare a different spell.

7th level: Arcane Formula's

• When you prepare spells whose effect is a line, cone,
• radius, you can change 1 to have a different shape than
• the spell description. a 5 ft radius becomes a 15 ft cone or
• a 30 ft line, rounded down. For Example, Lightning Bolt
• would be transformed into either a 45ft cone or 15 ft
• radius. A Fireball could becomes either a 60 ft cone or a
• 120 foot line. You can only prepare 1 such spell in this
• manner per Long Rest, and for the purposes of stacking
• effects, it is still considered the same spell.

11th level: Improved Arcane Recovery

• You may now use your Arcane Recovery feature twice per
• Long Rest instead of just once.

13th level: Improved Arcane Formula's

• You may have up to 3 spells prepared with your Arcane
• Formula's per Long Rest instead of just one.

• In addition, the spells you prepare with your Arcane
• Formula's gain an additional 5ft radius, 15 ft cone or 30 ft
• line effect, with the same shape as how the spell is
• prepared

15th level: Signature Spells

• You have achieved such mastery over certain spells that
• you can cast them at will. Choose a level 1 and a level 2
• spell that are in your spellbook and that have a casting
• time of an action. You always have those spells prepared,
• and you can cast them at their lowest level without
• expending a spell slot. If you want to cast either spell at a
• higher level, you must expend a spell slot as normal.
• Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can study your
• spellbook and exchange one of those spells for another
• eligible spell of the same level from that book.

20th level: Archmage Mastery

• You gain mastery over your magic in the following ways.

18th level: Master of Wards

• When you create your Arcane Ward, you may choose up
• to 6 other creatures within 60 feet of you to also gain the
• Arcane Ward. These Wards are separate from one
• another. In addition, when you cast a spell to replenish
• your Arcane Ward, if one of the creatures you designated
• to have an Arcane Ward is within 10 ft of you, their Arcane
• Ward also replenishes the same amount of Ward, up to
• the Wards maximum value.

• Finally, when you use your Project Ward feature, you may
• still transfer your Ward to another creature within 60 feet,
• instead of 30 feet, as a reaction, or as a reaction you may
• make anyone else who has at least 1 point of Arcane
• Ward available gain Advantage on Saving Throws against
• Spells and Resistances to damage from spells until the
• start of your next turn.

Conjurer

• You consider distance and matter to be flexible guidelines
• rather than physical laws. Conjurers harness the power of
• magic that moves creatures instantly through space and
• summons creatures to fight on their behalf.

Diviner

• The counsel of a Diviner is sought by those who seek a
• clearer understanding of the past, present, and future. As
• a Diviner, you strive to part the veils of space, time, and
• consciousness so you can see clearly. You work to master
• spells of discernment, remote viewing, supernatural
• knowledge, and foresight.

3rd level: Enchantment Savant

• Choose two Wizard spells from the Enchantment school,
• each of which must be no higher than level 2, and add
• them to your spellbook for free. In addition, whenever
• you gain access to a new level of spell slots in this class,
• you can add one Wizard spell from the Enchantment
• school to your spellbook for free. The chosen spell must
• be of a level for which you have spell slots.

6th level: Instinctive Charm

• When a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see
• hits you with an attack roll, you can take a Reaction to
• force the attacker to make a Wisdom saving throw against
• your spell save DC. On a failed save, the attack misses
• instead, and if there is another creature within range of
• the attack other than the attacker, the attacker targets
• that creature with the triggering attack, using the same
• attack roll. If multiple creatures are within the attack’s
• range, you choose which one to target.

• Once you use this Reaction, you can’t do so again until
• you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it
• by casting an Enchantment spell with a spell slot.

10th level: Enchantment Prodigy

• When you cast an enchantment spell using a 5th level
• spell slot or lower that targets only one creature, you can
• have it target a second creature. You can use this feature
• a number of times per Long Rest equal to your
• Intelligence Modifier (minimum 1).

• When you are the target of a spell that causes Charm,
• Frightened or Incapacitated condition on a failed save, if
• you make your save, you can cause the spell to backfire.
• The original caster must make a spell save vs their own
• DC but at disadvantage. If an enchanter tried to Charmed
• or Frightened another enchanter with this feature, ignore
• this part of this feature.

• The enchanter has advantage on saving throws versus
• Charmed, Frightened and Incapaticated conditions.

14th level: Enchanting Manipulator

• You have an immeasurable understanding of how the
• mind interacts with your magic. You gain the following
• benefits:

14th level: Overchannel

• You can increase the power of your spells. When you cast
• a Wizard spell with a spell slot of levels 1–5 that deals
• damage, you can deal maximum damage with that spell
• on the turn you cast it.

• The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effect. If
• you use this feature again before you finish a Long Rest,
• you take 2d10 Necrotic damage for each level of the spell,
• immediately after you cast it. This damage ignores
• Resistance and Immunity to damage.

• Each time you use this feature again before finishing a
• Long Rest, the Necrotic damage per spell level increases
• by 1d10.

18th level: Master of Destruction

• You become a beacon of magical destruction. Your spells
• of 5th level and lower are automatically upcasted by 2
• levels whenever you cast a spell that deals additional
• damage when upcasting the spell to a higher level spell
• slot or allows more projectiles when cast with a higher
• level spell slot, without using a higher level spell slot.

Illusionist

• You focus your study on magic that dazzles the senses
• and tricks the mind. Your magic is subtle, but the illusions
• you craft make the impossible seem real. Some
• Illusionists—including many Gnome Wizards—are benign
• tricksters who use their spells to entertain. Others are
• more sinister masters of deception, using their illusions to
• frighten and fool others for their personal gain.

Necromancer

• You explore the cosmic forces of life, death, and undeath.
• As a Necromancer, you learn to manipulate the energy
• that animates all creatures. As you progress, you learn to
• use magic to drain the life force from a creature and
• transform its vital energy into magical power. Many see
• Necromancers as menacing or villainous, though not all
• Necromancers are evil. Nevertheless, the manipulation of
• life and death is considered taboo in many societies.

Withering Strike: Whenever the Undead makes an Attack, add your Intelligence Modifier to the attack roll. The Undead attacks and feature can choose to do Necrotic damage and also deals extra Necrotic damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 Necrotic damage).

Bladesinger

• Bladesingers master a tradition of wizardry that
• incorporates swordplay and dance. In combat, a
• Bladesinger uses a series of intricate, elegant maneuvers
• that fend off harm and allow the Bladesinger to channel
• magic into devastating attacks and a cunning defense.
• Many who have observed a Bladesinger at work
• remember the display as one of the more beautiful
• experiences in their life, a glorious dance accompanied by
• a singing blade.

• Bladesinging is strongly associated with the ancient elven
• societies that first mastered the art and coined the term.
• Even today, most Bladesingers still hail from old elven
• realms, such as Cormanthyr, or from non-elven societies
• that share land and history with elves, such as the Silver
• Marches. Wherever they hail from, Bladesingers are
• known for taking their talents all across the Realms in
• order to help common people and perform heroic deeds.
• Few communities greet the arrival of a Bladesinger as
• anything but a good omen.
