Subclass features

This subclass obtains all the features from its base class, Wizard, in addition to its unique features outlined below.

Level 2

Evocation Savant

Halves the cost to learn Evocation spells from Scrolls. Learning these spells will only cost  25 gp per spell level.

Sculpt Spells

Create pockets of safety within your Evocation spells. Allies automatically succeed their  Saving Throws against these spells and take no damage from them.

Level 6

Potent Cantrip

Your cantrips become harder to evade entirely. When a creature succeeds its  Saving Throw against one of your cantrips, it still takes half the cantrip's damage, but suffers no additional effects.

Level 10

Empowered Evocation

Your grasp of Evocation magic has tightened, and you can add your Intelligence Modifier to damage rolls with any Evocation spells.
