Spellcasting
As a student of arcane magic, your power stems from your ability to understand the intiricate forces and rules that is the foundation of your reality.
The magic you utilise is of the Arcane type, and it can be from any School of Magic. However, since you arent wielding magic due to inate talent or a through otherworldy gift, you dont add your proficensy bonus to your ability modifer for Spell attacks and Spell saves.
Spell Slots
The Wizard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your 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.
Memoriesed Spells
You are capable of memorising a number of spells equal to your Arcana Skill Modifier (to a minimum of 1). The spells memorised can be of any level between 0 and 9.
To memorise a new spell, you need to spend 2 + 2 per spell level in hours partaking in a ritual/study session to learn the spell or exchange a spell that you memorised with a new spell. And the spell you are memorising to must be from a creature teaching you, or scripture containing information on the spell, such as a scroll or spell book.
Prepaired Spells
You are allso capable of preparing a number of spells equal to either your Inteligence Modifier or your Wizard level, wich ever is higher.
To be able to prepare spells, you need a spellbook, or a object that serves the function of a spellbook, and the ability to read and write in one language. This will serves as your repertoire of magic. With 1 hour of studining your spellbook, you can change out one of your spells with another writen in the book.
Spellbook RulesYour spellbook
The spells that you add to your spellbook reflect the magic research you conduct on your own, insight into the power you draw from and how it can be used. To expand this knowledge you must seek out locations, people and powerful entities to learn from. Seeking out organisations dedicated to magic is a safe bet to find new spells. You could also discover a spell recorded on a scroll, the mural on the wall in a temple, or in a dusty tome from the corner of an old library.
Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a new spell, you can add it to your spellbook if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it. Copying a spell into your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the caster who wrote it. You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own notation.
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.
Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from your own spellbook or your memory into another book. If you want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell. This also includes spells from your memory.
If you lose your spellbook. You are unable to prepare your spells, the spells you have prepared will be cast-able for the duration of 3 days. At the end of that time, any prepared spell will no longer be prepared for you, on account that their intricate castings slipped out of your mind.
If you want to make copies of your notes, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many practitioners of the magic arts keep backup spellbooks in a safe place.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your 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 wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your Intelligence modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a wizard spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don't need to have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your arcane spells. Items such as wands made from trees grown in enviroments with potent magical ambiance, or have a magical core made from a magical creature such as dragon heart string or unicorn hair. Crystal balls made from magical quarts can be used as well.
Magic Study
While you are at a bit of a disadvantage compared to other spell casters. The hours upon hours spent on studying the magical phenomenon of your world, has granted you with knowledge that allows you to not just compensate you shortcomings, but to excel in the use of magic.
