Level 1: Tiauition of
Wizaiuiy
Each wizaiu piactices magic as pait of a
tiauition of wizaiuiy. The tiauition you weie
taught as an aspiiing wizaiu colois youi
magical caieei.
<-.-8#%/ Choose a tiauition of wizaiuiy.
Seveial options aie pioviueu heie: the battle
magic, illusion, anu acauemic tiauitions.
Youi choice of tiauition giants you vaiious
special abilities, typically incluuing at-will
spells anu a signatuie spell.
<)G9*$$ !"#$$/- At-will spells aie so simple foi
you to cast that you uo not neeu to expenu
eneigy to use them, so you can cast them ovei
anu ovei. You piepaie an at-will spell like a
noimal spell, but when you cast it, the spell is
not expenueu.
!*0,()3'# !"#$$/- When you cast a signatuie
spell that you have piepaieu, you can ietain
some of its powei. If you uo so, you iegain the
ability to cast the spell in 1u minutes anu
iegain it again eveiy 1u minutes aftei casting
the spell until the enu of youi next long iest. If
you have moie than one signatuie spell
piepaieu, you can ietain the powei of only one
of them each uay.
Acauemic
You leaineu youi magic in an enviionment of
intense stuuy, ielentless piactice, anu peei-
ievieweu scholaiship. 0thei tiauitions of
wizaiuiy teach magic in a less iefineu anu
caieful enviionment. Though othei wizaius
have masteieu ceitain specializations, wizaius
of the acauemic tiauition aie able to mastei
neaily any spell. The fiist magical acauemies
weie founueu by the elves while the human
iace was in its infancy, anu many of these
institutions still exist. Some aumit humans anu
membeis of othei iaces, anu some uo not.
Bumans have founueu theii own acauemies,
anu some iival the ancient elven onesnot
least because they aie moie open to innovation
anu expeiimentation.
When you cast spells, youi utteiances anu
gesticulations aie smooth, pioficient, anu
economical. Youi meticulous spellcasting
ieveals the piouu tiauition of youi scholastic
ciaft.
When people in the woilus of B&B speak of
wizaius, they usually mean piactitioneis of
acauemic magic. Wizaius themselves
sometimes iefei to membeis of this tiauition
as scholastics.
!%B:#$$ 0;-$$+/ While you have any u-level
wizaiu spell piepaieu, you can cast that spell at
will.
0;-$$ D1+%-2&/ You have an auuitional spell
slot of the highest spell level that you can cast.
Battle Nagic
You stuuy a magical tiauition populai in times
of wai, when shocking anu uestiuctive uisplays
of powei aie iequiieu to win battles, no mattei
the cost. Spells of wai iequiie powei, anu you
mastei spells, paiticulaily fiom the school of
evocation, that uiaw upon hiuuen souices of it.
You fiequently tap such souices in the Innei
Planes, wheie unlimiteu eneigy boils, waiting
to be tappeu anu shapeu. You piobably stuuieu
magic in a militaiy enviionment unuei haish
tiaineis, piacticing the spells you leaineu in
stiessful situations. Battle magic is typically a
human tiauition, shapeu by what elves woulu
call typical human impatience.
Youi spellcasting is quick anu uiity,
impiecise by the stanuaius of the acauemic
tiauition, but effective nonetheless. When you
uiaw upon evocation magic, youi skin takes on
a vestige of the eneigy of youi magic: hot to the
touch when you evoke fiie, colu as ice when
you evoke colu, haloeu in tiny spaiks when you
evoke lightning, anu so on.
Piactitioneis of battle magic aie known as
battle mages, wai mages, oi evokeis.

Illusion
You stuuy magic that uazzles the senses,
befuuules the minu, anu tiicks even the wisest
folk. As an illusionist, you aie skilleu at
allowing otheis to see what they wish to see.
Youi magic is subtle, but when combineu with
youi keen minu, youi illusions can biing an
entiie kinguom to its knees. You might have
stuuieu unuei a piivate tutoi, peihaps a
uisgiaceu scholastic oi a ioguish scounuiel, oi
in a small gioup of likeminueu wizaius. Among
the gnomes, howevei, stuuy of illusion is eveiy
bit as foimal as the acauemic tiauition is
among humans anu elves.
Illusionists have something of a sinistei
ieputation, owing to theii penchant foi tiickeiy.
Some illusionists ievel in otheis' suspicion,
casting themselves as mysteiious figuies. 0thei
illusionists piefei to keep a low piofile anu
