You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The sword must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the sword and Attune it to yourself. You always know the direction your Attuned weapon is in, unless it is on another plane. You can summon the weapon to your hand as a free interaction if it is within 100 feet of you and is on the same plane of existence. You can only Attune one-handed swords that you are proficient with. *A weapon conjured with the Flame Blade spell retains the benefits of being an Attuned weapon)*Arcane WardAt 1st level, you gather a thin, invisible veil of arcane power around yourself while in combat. As long as you unarmoured and are using your Attuned weapon, and no other weapons or shields, your base AC equals 10 + your DEX modifier + your INT modifier. When you cast a swordmage spell, you can pull the leftover energy into your ward. Gain 5 Temporary hit points per spell level.SpellcastingBy 2nd level, you have learned enough about the fine workings of arcane magic to cast spells of your own.Spellbook At 2st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st-level swordmage spells of your choice. Casting Spells The Swordmage table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. To cast one of these spells, you must expend one Spell Slot. When you cast a spell you choose the level of the slot you cast it with, up to the maximum level you are capable of casting. For example, if you cast Armour of Agathys as a 7th-level swordmage, you can choose to cast it as a 1st-, 2nd-, or 3rd-level Armour of Agathys. To cast spells of 6th level or higher, you expend an Advanced spell slot. You cannot cast use an Advanced spell slot to cast a spell at a higher level than it normally is. You regain all standard spell slots on a short or long rest, and all Advanced spell slots on a long rest. When you cast an Advanced spell, you cannot cast the same spell again until you finish a long rest, even if you still have Advanced slots.Preparing SpellsYou prepare the list of swordmage spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of swordmage spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your swordmage level (minimum of two spells). The spells must be of a level for which you can use your standard spell slots. For example, if you're a 6th-level swordmage, you have four 3rd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include nine spells of 1st 2nd or 3rd level, in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of swordmage spells requires time spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on the list. You do not have to prepare Advanced spells to cast them.Spellcasting Ability Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your swordmage spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a swordmage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your intelligence modifier Ritual CastingYou can cast a swordmage spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You do not have to have the spell prepared.Learning Spells of 1st through 5th LevelEach time you gain a swordmage level, you can add one swordmage spell of your choice to your spellbook. The spell must be of a level which you have standard spell slots for, as shown on the swordmage table.Learning Advanced SpellsStarting at 12th level, each time you gain a swordmage level you also pick a spell from the Advanced spell list, in addition to a Standard spell. The spell must be of a level you are capable of using your Advanced slots to cast.SpellbookThe spells that you add to your spellbook as you gain levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil wizard's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library. Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a swordmage spell you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a level for which you have spell slots and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it. Copying a spell into your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the mage who wrote it. You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own notation. For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and 25gp. The cost represents the materials and fine inks you need to record the spell. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells. The time and cost to copy of spell of 6th level or higher is doubled.Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from your own spellbook into another book— for example, if you want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell. If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many swordmages keep backup spellbooks in a safe place. The Book’s Appearance. Your spellbook is a unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that you received as a gift from your master, a finely bound gilt-edged tome you found in an ancient library, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together after you lost your previous spellbook in a mishap.Multiclassing with SpellbooksIf you have levels in the Wizard class, you can use the same spellbook for both classes. You must prepare a spell as either a wizard spell or a swordmage spell, and if you want to be able to cast it as both you must prepare it once for each class. You cannot prepare wizard spells that are not on the swordmage list, and wizards cannot prepare swordmage spells that are not on the wizard list.Swordmage CantripsAt 2nd level, you learn two cantrips from the swordmage spell list. You learn more cantrips at the levels indicated on the Swordmage table.Swordmage PathAt 3rd level, you choose one of two Paths, either the Bladewarden, or the Runeblade. These choices grant you additional features at 3rd, 7th, 11th, and 15th level.Maelstrom BladeStarting at 3rd level, you can expend a standard spell slot and whirl your blade around you as an action, creating a blast of arcane power, dealing damage and disorienting enemies. All enemies within 10 feet of you take 2d6 Force damage, and must make a STR saving throw or be Stunned until the end of your next turn. This damage increases by 2d6 for each spell slot level beyond 1st, to a maximum of 10d6.Extra AttackAt 5th level you can attack twice instead of once when you take the attack action during your turn.Augment Ward IAt 6th level choose an Augment for your Arcane Ward from the Tier 1 Augmentations list. When you finish a short or long rest you can pick a new Augmentation from the list of Tier 1 Augmentations to replace the old one.BlademasterAt 8th level, you have learned to apply your mind to your attacks as well as defending yourself. As long as you are unarmoured and using your Attuned weapon and no other weapon or shield, you add your INT modifier to damage rolls made with the Attuned weapon.Arcane WeaponAt 10th level, you infuse every attack you make with arcane power. Choose a damage type (Acid, Cold, Fire, Force, Lightning, or Psychic). Attacks made with your Attuned weapon deal and extra 1d8 points of the chosen damage type. You can change the damage type by meditating over your sword for 1 hour. This can be done during a short rest. Your weapon counts as magical for the purpose of defeating damage resistance as long as you retain this benefit. This bonus increases to 2d8 at 14th level, and to 3d8 at 18th level.Spell SurgeAt 14th level, you learn to tap into a deep reserve of magical energy within yourself. You can spend 1 minute in meditation to recover 3 standard spell slots. You can only use this feature once between long rests.Augment Ward IIAt 14th level choose another Augment for your Arcane Ward from the Tier 2 Augmentations lists. When you finish a long rest you can pick a new Augmentation from the list of Tier 2 Augmentations to replace the old one.Arcane WarriorAt 18th level, when you use your action to cast a spell, you can make a weapon attack against a target within weapon range with your Attuned weapon as a bonus action. Additionally, as long as you are wielding your Attuned weapon, when you cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action or shorter, the casting cannot be interrupted by taking damage.Arcane FuryAt 20th level you have learned to assault your foes with a blazing storm of blade strikes and teleportations. When you use this ability, you spend your action making a single weapon attack against every creature within 30 feet of you, up to 10. You can teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target that you can see before each attack, though you cannot teleport to a space more than 35 feet from where you started. Once you have made all 10 attacks, or run out of targets within 30 feet, you return to your starting space. You can use this ability once per short rest.[h=2]Swordmage Paths[/h]RUNEBLADERuneblade SpellsAt 3rd level you gain the ability to cast the True Strike cantrip. This cantrip has a casting time of 1 Bonus Action. At 5th level you gain the ability to cast the Spiritual Weapon spell, ignoring any material components. This spell is always prepared, and does not consume spell slots when cast. The summoned weapon takes the form of your Attuned weapon. You can cast it once per short rest.RunemarkAt 7th level, when you hit an opponent with a weapon attack made with your Attuned weapon, you can mark them with an arcane sigil. When you attack a Runemarked target, your weapon's crit range is expanded by 1. You can only runemark one target at a time. The rune fades away after 1 week, or when the target dies.Blasting RuneAt 11th level, when you hit a Runemarked target, it gains a charge, up to 5. You can detonate the sigil on a Runemarked target as a bonus action, dealing 2d8 Points of Psychic damage per charge. The target is no longer marked by the sigil, and cannot be marked by one again for 1 hour. The target has disadvantage on checks made to maintain concentration in response to this damage.Revealing RuneAt 15th level, you always know where your Runemarked target is, even if they are invisible, as long as they are within 50 feet of you. When you attack your Runemarked target, you do so with advantage, and Runemarked targets have disadvantage on saving throws against your spells.SPELLWARDENSpellwarden SpellsAt 3rd level you gain the ability to cast the Resistance cantrip. This cantrip has a casting time of 1 Bonus Action. At 5th level you gain the ability to cast the Warding Bond spell, ignoring any material components. This spell is always prepared, and does not consume spell slots when cast. You can cast it once per short rest.Sheltering WardAt 7th level, you can use a bonus action to extend your Ward to all allies within 5 feet of you. They gain the benefits of any Ward Augmentations, and they add your INT modifier to their saving throws against spells. The effect lasts until the start of your next turn, and you can use this ability three times between short rests.Arcane OsmosisAt 11th level, you are able to absorb to the arcane energy of spells cast against you. When you succeed on a saving throw against magic, roll a d20. On a roll of 1 or 20, gain a number of spell slots equal to the level of the spell cast against you divided by three (Round down, minimum one). You cannot have more spell slots than your maximum.UntouchableAt 15th level, as an action you conjure a shield of spinning swords that forms a 10-foot radius wall centered on you. Attackers outside the circle have disadvantage when attacking a target inside it, and allies inside the circle have advantage on saving throws against spells cast outside the circle. Hostile creatures passing through the wall take 4d6 Psychic damage on a failed CON save, or half as much on a successful one. The shield does not move with you after you create it, and lasts for 30 seconds. You can use this ability twice between short rests.Spell List (Spells marked with an asterisk are Ritual spells)Some of these spells are homebrewed, and may be found <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?453052-Some-Homebrew-ish-Spells" target="_blank">here</a>.Standard Spells (1st-5th Level)CantripsCreate BonfireControl FlamesEldritch BlastFriendsFrostbiteFire BoltGustLightLightning LashMage HandMendingMessageMold EarthPrestidigitationRead MagicShape WaterShocking GraspStonefist1st-LevelAbsorb ElementsAlarm*Armaments of the ForestArmour of AgathysCatapultCharm PersonChameleonChromatic OrbColour SprayCommandCompelled DuelComprehend Languages*Detect Magic*Disguise SelfEarth TremorFeather FallFog CloudGreaseHexHushIce KnifeIdentify*Illusory Script*JumpLongstriderRay of SicknessScareShieldSilent ImageSleepTasha's Hideous LaughterUnseen Servant*Witch Bolt2nd-LevelAlter SelfArcane LockAura of DeflectionBlindness/DeafnessBlurCalm EmotionsChill MetalCloud of DaggersContinual FlameCrown of MadnessDarknessDarkvisionDetect ThoughtsDust DevilEarthbindEnhance AbilityEnlarge/ReduceEntangling ForceEnthrallFlame BladeGentle ReposeGust of WindHeat MetalHold PersonIcy RaysInvisibilityKnockLocate ObjectMagic Mouth*Magic WeaponMaximillian's Earthen GraspMirror ImageMisty StepNystul's Magic AuraPass without TracePhantasmal ForcePyrotechnicsRay of EnfeeblementRepelScorching RaySee InvisibilitySkywriteSnilloc's Snowball StormSpider ClimbSuggestionWarding WindWeb3rd-LevelAura of RepulsionBestow CurseBlinkChill StrikeClairvoyanceConjure BarrageCounterspellDaylightDispel MagicErupting EarthElemental WeaponFearFeign Death*FlyGaseous Form Glyph of WardingHasteHypnotic PatternMagic CircleMajor ImageMelf's Minute MeteorsNondetectionPhantom Steed*Protection from EnergyRemove CurseSendingSleet StormSlowStinking CloudTidal WaveTonguesWall of SandWall of WaterWater Breathing*Water Walk*Wind Wall4th-LevelArcane EyeBanishmentCompulsionConfusionControl WaterDimension DoorDominate BeastElemental BaneEnervationFabricateFire ShieldFreedom of MovementGreater InvisibilityHallucinatory TerrainLocate CreatureOtiluke's Resilient SpherePhantasmal KillerPolymorphShoutStone ShapeStoneskinWall of FireWatery Sphere5-th LevelAnimate ObjectsAvenging WeaponAwakenBigby's HandContact Other Plane*Control WindsConjure VolleyContagionCreationDominate PersonDreamGeasHold MonsterImmolationLegend LoreMaelstromMisleadModify MemoryPasswallRary's Telepathic Bond*ScryingSeemingShadow EvocationTelekinesisTeleportation CircleWall of ForceWall of Stone Advanced Spells (6th-9th Level)6th-levelArcane GateAntimagic BurstBlade BarrierCircle of DeathContingencyDisintegrateDrawmji's Instant Summons*EyebiteFlesh to StoneGlobe of InvulnerabilityGuards and WardInvestiture of FlameInvestiture of IceInvestiture of StoneInvestiture of WindMass SuggestionMove EarthOtto's Irresistible DancePrimordial WardProgrammed IllusionTrue SeeingVeilWall of IceWall of Thorns7th-levelAdamantine BodyEtherealnessFinger of DeathForcecageMirage ArcaneMordenkainen's SwordOppressive ForcePlane ShiftProject ImageSequesterTeleport8th-levelAntimagic FieldAntipathy/SympathyDemiplaneDominate MonsterFeeblemindGlibnessMind BlankPolar RayPower Word StunTelepathy9th-levelAstral ProjectionForesightGreater EnervationPrismatic WallTime StopWierdWard AugmentsAll ward augments only apply while you retain the benefit of your ward (Only using your Attuned weapon, and no armour)Tier 1 AugmentationsCaustic Shielding:You gain resistance to Acid damage.
