You’re a spellcaster - a weaver of magic beyond anyone’s wildest dreams! You begin the game with the ability to perform Spellcasting. Each time you level up, you will gain Ranks in you chosen School. The highest Rank you can gain is determined by your Favored Passion. Once you have leveled up enough to raise your Will, you will earn a new Talent. Your party will be relying on you to solve problems in creative ways with the unexpected Spells in your repertoire. Anything can happen!
You can use Basic weaponry. The highest your Armor score can be without magic is 1.

Your character begins the game with the ability to write and cast Spells from Scrolls and Spellbooks. One Spell can be written into a Scroll, which you read aloud for at least one Bout in order to cast.
Your character earns this ability at 4th Level. When you prepare your spells, roll a d4. You can personally select the words for that many Spells from any Spell Word table, allowing you to create custom Spells and effects.
Your character earns this ability at 6th Level. Once per day, you can attempt to save a spell that you have failed to cast and are about to lose. Roll a d20. If the result is 13 or above, the Spell is saved and you may attempt to cast it again next turn.
Your character earns this ability at 8th Level. When you create Spells, you can now have them be read and cast by non-magical characters. These Spells are always cast on a Spellcasting Check of 13 or above. If the casting is unsuccessful, the Spell is always lost.
Your character earns this ability at 10th Level. You may choose one Spell from the list of your prepared Spells to store in a non-magical object once per game session. When you attempt to do this, roll a Check to cast the spell with a -4 penalty. If the Check succeeds, the Spell is stored in the object and can be activated at a later time without a Spellcasting Check if the object is in the caster's equipment. If the Check fails, the Spell and the object are both lost.
