Mage: Difference between revisions

You’ve 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.

If your choice has a tier or power requirement, roll an INT/Arcana check, the DC of which is 10+ double the Tier if [[primal]] or [[psionic]], or 10+ the [[Divine]] or [[Occult]] power requirement if divine or occult. If you fail this check, you may never attempt to cast it again, and must make a new selection in its place. This spot in your spellbook does not count towards your three Stolen Spell slots.
