Spelljammer Converting Spelljammer creatures

If we're going for school specialization, we should take the SLA from that school. It's not required, but it feels thematically right. That's why I went for fireball, assuming evoker. Even if dispel is "better."

Edit: missed those last few posts. So what are we doing?

We scrapped specialization and are fencing over the SLA.

If freyar insists on evocation at least make the SLA polar ray or meteor swarm.

Shade likes blowing things up. How about Quicken SLA and an SLA of either freezing sphere or chain lightning?

Either appeals.

Of those two spells I prefer chain lightning, since it has better max damage and area of effect.

It could get Quicken Spell and use a 9th level spell slot for a quickened 5th level SLA. That's probably an inferior option though.

Spell-Like Ability
An archmage who selects this type of high arcana can use one of her arcane spell slots (other than a slot expended to learn this or any other type of high arcana) to permanently prepare one of her arcane spells as a spell-like ability that can be used twice per day. The archmage does not use any components when casting the spell, although a spell that costs XP to cast still does so and a spell with a costly material component instead costs her 10 times that amount in XP. This ability costs one 5th-level spell slot.

The spell-like ability normally uses a spell slot of the spell’s level, although the archmage can choose to make a spell modified by a metamagic feat into a spell-like ability at the appropriate spell level.

Let's go with this. So, that costs a 5th and a 6th level slot, correct?

 

[freyar]

Yup, as far as I can tell.

 

[Cleon]

Yup, as far as I can tell.

That's right, one 5th & one 6th.
