Spellcasting[edit | edit source]

For a list of spells available to the Wizard, see: Wizard/Spells

  • Spellcasting Ability: Intelligence icon.png Intelligence
  • Prepared Spells Icon.webp Prepared Spells: You may swap your Prepared Spells at any time while out of combat, but can only have a certain number of Spells prepared at a time. The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.
  • Spell Scribing Icon.webp Spell Scribing: A Wizard who finds a Scroll for a Spell they do not know may permanently copy that Spell to their Spellbook at the cost of the scroll and 50gp per level of the Spell (Picture example). The Spell must be one for which the Wizard has a spell slot, even if they got it by multiclassing (so a L4 Cleric / L1 Wizard can transcribe Level 3 spells).
    • In the event of a class change, if the character is no longer a wizard but later becomes one again, spells learned with scrolls will still be memorized. At least one wizard level is required to access it.
