Based damage around 1d8+1.- Added Sense Magic to the Sender's spell-list, and corrected some mis-namings.- Added Combat Casting- Substantially weakened Practiced Casting, as it was just asking for abuse.- Changed the mechanics for the Sender's Wisdom bonus to armor class, making it less open to abuse. (Note that in the example, I forgot to specify the Sender was wearing a chain shirt. Oops!)- Altered some costs here and there to try to balance the spell-casters a little more between each other, and those in the PHB.Note that the stone-shaper is now extremely powerful in a cavern -- although extremely weak most other places. This is not the best way to balance a class, but given flavor reasons it seemed like the only option aside from having an altogether too-weak class. Plant-shapers run into similar problems, although they have the benefit of better hit points, skill points, and attack rolls, and are thus a little weaker in the forest than the stone-shaper is in a cave (although both classes are still extremely potent).I may change some abilities around to make the shapers' damaging effects and the telekin's damaging effects resemble each other more, but I still haven't decided which model I want to keep, or whether that's really at all necessary. (It's still a little odd to have some effects cost a plus per radius, and others a times per radius, but considering it should really be times radius squared I guess both are equally wrong <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )</blockquote>
