You always have this recipe prepared, and it doesn't count against your total number of prepared recipes. Casting this recipe costs half its normal mp cost.-----Spell Recipe SystemBasics-A Spell Recipe must have at least one of each of the following Ingredients: Target, Range, Challenge, Effect and Casting Time. It may also have up to 1 material component, 1 verbal component, and 1 somatic component. The total MP Cost of a Spell Recipe is the sum of its Ingredient's MP cost.Target-Caster: -1 mp-Creature: 1 mp-Object: 0mpNote: If a Spell Recipe contains multiple Targets, the highest Target MP Value is paid. Example: If a Spell Recipe Targets both a creature and the Caster, the Target MP Value is 1. If a Spell Recipe Targets two creatures, the Target MP Value is still 1, as it isn't cumulative.Range-Bolt: 1mp/30 feet, additional bolts cost 2 mp/30 feet. Damage is evenly divided amongst all bolts, whether they hit or miss. The number of Bolts can't exceed the Caster's Proficiency Bonus. Each additional Bolt may select a different target, or a target already being selected.Example: If spell has two bolts that both travel 60 feet, the Range Ingredient would cost 6 mp. If one Bolt hit and one Bolt missed, and the damage rolled was 6, the Bolt that hit would deal 3 damage.-Touch: 0mp, can only target 1 enemy or object.Challenge-Caster: 0mp-Saving Throw for Half damage: 3mp-Saving Throw for No damage: 1 mp-Spell Attack: 2mp-No Save/Attack: Double spell cost after calculating recipe without Challenge. The spell automatically hits and the effect occurs. Can only be used with damage/healing effects.Effects-Damage/Healing: 1d4: 1mp1d6: 2mp1d8: 3mp1d10: 4mp1d12: 5mp(Number of dice in a damaging/healing effect can't exceed the Mage's level. When determining Damage/Healing cost, increase the mp cost by 1 for every die used after the first. For example, 2d4 costs 3 mp, 2d6 costs 5 mp, 3d10 costs 14. Also, if a target of a spell saves against the spell for half damage, round damage down.)Damage types:Bludgeoning, piercing, slashing- 0mpFire, Cold, Lightning, Force- 1mpRadiant, Necrotic, Poison, Thunder- 2mpPsychic- 3mp(Note: Your DM may allow you to use nondamaging elemental effects like lighting a campfire with Fire magic or amplifying your voice with Thunder magic, and these should generally cost 1 less mp than their normal cost. For effects like these, your DM has final say.)-Movement: 1mp/10 pounds moved, when moving 9 pounds or less the cost is 0 mp. Range of movement is 1 mp/30 feet, 29 or less feet of movement costs 0 mp.Status Effects-Charmed: 1mp/round, if you or an ally attacks the charmed creature, charm ends. Can be saved against at the beginning of each of the targets turns in combat.-Frightened: 1 mp/round. Can be saved against at the beginning of each of the targets turns in combat.-Invisible: 1mp/round, attacking drains 1 mp from mana pool or ends spell, caster's choice.-Sleep: 20mp/5d8 effect. If the total dice rolled for this effect exceeds the targets current HP, the target falls unconscious.-Teleport: 1mp/30 feet. Willing target is teleported without error a number of feet equal to the effect purchased. Location of teleportation must be in the casters line of sight.Casting Time-Bonus Action: 3mp-Reaction: 2mp-Action: 0mp-1 minute: -1 mp from spell total-1 hour: -5 mp from spell totalNote: Spells that are cast as a bonus action or reaction must be prepared, and cannot be quick-cast.Recipe Aids-Material Component worth 1 gold or more: -1 1mp costNote: Component pouch and Arcane Focus fulfill the same requirement as a unique material component of 1 gold or higher, but do not stack with that material component.-Material component worth 1 platinum or more: -5 mp cost-Material component worth 10 platinum or more: -10 mp cost-Verbal component: -2 mp-Somatic component: -1 mp-----This is essentially an alpha build of the class, I've done some minimal balance vs. The wizard class.
