[B]Spells[/B]: At 1st level, a magician knows two spells selected from the sorcerer list: one first level spell and one zero level spell. Each spell is castable once per day. The DC for these spells is determined by the magician’s charisma, and the caster level is the magician’s level. A magician must have an intelligence of at least 10+spell level to learn or cast a spell. Each level after first, a magician learns two more spells from varying levels as shown on the chart. A magician may choose a lower level spell in place of a higher level one if desired. A magician may also choose the same spells two or more times, and this means the spell can be cast that many times per day. [B]Metamagic Feats[/B]: A magician with a metamagic feat may take a spell that applies that feat as the appropriate level spell. For example, a magician with the empower spell feat can take “empowered fireball” as a 5th-level spell. The casting time is unaffected. [B]Rituals[/B]: Instead of choosing a standard spell, a magician may choose two “ritual spells” instead. These abilities work exactly as a spell, expect the casting time is increased by one hour. Each ritual spell can still be used one per day (or the same ritual spell can be selected twice to cast that ritual spell twice per day). For example, a second-level magician could forgo a standard spell (such as [I]magic missile[/I]) and instead take [I]identify[/I] and [I]mage armor[/I] as ritual spells. [I]Identify[/I] could then be used once per day with a casting time of two hours. [I]Mage armor[/I] could likewise be used once per day with a casting time of one hour and one standard action, thus it will likely be used only at the beginning of the day or to craft magic items. [B]Recast Spell[/B]: At first level, a magician can recast any zero level spell he knows even though he has already cast that spell that day. This ability grows as shown on the chart. At 3rd level, a magician can use this ability twice per day. As a magician increases in level, he can recast other spells of other levels once or twice per day as shown on the chart. A magician can only use this ability on spells whose level is less than his intelligence bonus. For example, a 12th level magician with a 17th intelligence (+3 intelligence bonus) can only recast 3rd level or lower spells. [B]Focus Bonus[/B]: At first level, a magician can choose to “focus” in a field of magic or be a “generalist.” [I]Generalist[/I] - At 1st level, the generalist magician chooses an extra zero-level spell and an extra 1st level spell. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, and 17th levels, the generalist ultimancer gains an extra spell known of the highest level he can use. He can use these spells once per day. [I]Cold-Focused[/I] - At 1st level, the cold-focused magician chooses two extra zero-level spells and two extra 1st level spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, and 17th levels, the cold-focused ultimancer gains two extra spells known of the highest level he can cast. He can cast these spells once per day. All extra spells selected by the cold-focused magician must have the [cold] descriptor or be able to be cast with that descriptor. A spell selected in this way must be cast with the [cold] descriptor or not at all. [I]Electricity-Focused[/I] – As cold-focused above, except for the [electricity] descriptor. [I]Fire-Focused[/I] – As cold-focused above, except for the [fire] descriptor. [I]Abjuration-Focused[/I] –At 1st level, an abjuration -focused magician chooses two extra zero-level spells and two extra 1st level spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, and 17th levels, the abjuration-focused ultimancer gains two extra spells known of the highest level he can cast. He cast use these spells once per day. All extra spells selected by the abjuration-focused magician must be from the abjuration school. [I]Conjuration-Focused[/I] – As abjuration-focused above except for the conjuration school. [I]Divination-Focused[/I] – As abjuration-focused above except for the divination school. [I]Enchantment-Focused[/I] – As abjuration-focused above except for the enchantment school. [I]Evocation-Focused[/I] – As abjuration-focused above except for the evocation school. [I]Illusion-Focused[/I] – As abjuration-focused above except for the illusion school. [I]Necromancy-Focused[/I] – As abjuration-focused above except for the necromancy school. [I]Transmutation-Focused[/I] – As abjuration-focused above except for the transmutation school. [B]Bonus Feats[/B]: A magician gains a bonus feat at 1st level, 4th level, 8th level, 12th level, 16th level, and 20th level. This bonus feat must be chosen from item creation feats and metamagic feats. Relearning: At 2nd level, and every level thereafter, a magician may swap a spell he knows for another spell of the same level or lower. [/QUOTE]
