Mage: Difference between revisions

You have always had a spark of talent within you, perhaps the ability to literally conjure forth sparks when agitated or excited. Ever curious about the world and the power within you, you have never shied away from experimentation with your magical powers. In your youth this caused your family endless grief and singed eyebrows. Now, having mastered the basics of arcane magic, you seek to continue your study and uncover ever deeper mysteries of the Fundamental Wellspring of Magic.

Developing skill as an arcane caster necessitates that you maintain Attunation with the Fundamental Wellspring. This entails different practices for different casters, so in your case it might involve reading complex arcane texts or meditating intensely on the metaphysics or astrophysics of the universe. Be proactive, for if you become lackadaisical in maintaining Attunation, your skill will gradually atrophy, and you might lose your arcane ability altogether if you do not diligently cultivate this Attunation.

'''Arcane Weaving.''' Some spells are especially mutable, capable of being sculpted into something new. You might master this ability, allowing you a diverse repertoire of effects.

'''Archmage.''' By focusing on a single function of magic - alchemy, illusory magic, or perhaps necromancy to name a few - you can become an unparalleled master of customizing the capabilities of your magic.

'''Sorcery.''' By manipulating chance, you mitigate the danger of arcane magic or can cause the magic to become even more unstable, with explosive results.

'''Tome Wizard.''' If you enchant a tome or scroll you can learn far more magic than you might otherwise, as the tome gradually comes to life and helps you learn and cast more spells.
