2nd-level Axiomancer Feature
As you develop in your journey towards
understanding the complex innerworkings of magic, you
learn the three Major Rudiments of spellcraft:
Manifestation, Augmentation, and Manipulation.
Whenever you cast a Wizard spell, you may alter the
spell using one of the three Major Rudiments, whose
effects are as follows
• Manifestation – When you cast a spell that deals
damage, you may change the damage type to one of the
following types: fire, cold, or lightning. The spell’s
appearance then changes to suit this.
• Augmentation – When you cast a spell that has an
area of effect, you can change the shape of the spell
between the following: line, cone, circle, square, cube,
cylinder, sphere. You cannot convert a shape from two-
dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D). You may
convert a 3D shape to a 2D shape by treating it as its
closest 2D proxy (cube = square, cylinder = circle,
sphere = circle). See the Spell Shapes Table for area of
effect conversions.
• Manipulation – When you cast a spell that requires a
Dexterity saving throw, you can change it to a spell
attack. If multiple creatures are affected, you make one
spell attack that is applied to each of their armor
classes.
When you cast a spell that requires a spell
attack, you can change it to require a Dexterity saving
throw.
Postulatory Praxis
6th-level Axiomancer Feature
At 6th level, the understanding you have developed of
esoteric arcanum has granted you increased control
over your spellcraft. When you gain this feature, you
learn two Minor Rudiment options of your choice (see
“Minor Rudiments”).
Once per turn, when you cast a Wizard spell of 1st
level or higher, you can apply a Minor Rudiment to it.
This feature has a number of uses equal to your The Mirari Conjecture
proficiency bonus and you regain all expended uses James Arnold, WotC

Spell Matrix
14th-level Axiomancer Feature
Through careful study, drawing upon your previous
research, you have crafted an arcane meta-arrangement
technique that allows you to sustain the weight of
multiple spells at once. Once per long rest, you may
perform a day-long ritual to create a Spell Matrix. This
matrix could take many forms, such as a pendant, a
floating cube, or a tattoo. No matter the form, the Spell
Matrix remains within your space. You can only have
one Spell Matrix at any given time.
When it is first created, the Spell Matrix has four
empty slots. When you cast a spell with concentration,
you may choose to append the spell to an empty slot in
the Spell Matrix. If you do so, the spell does not resolve
and has no immediate effects. Any rudiments used
during the casting of the spell are stored along with it.
You cannot append more than one of the same spell to
the matrix. You can wipe a Spell Matrix of all appended
spells once per long rest by performing an hour-long
ritual, emptying all its slots.
As an action on your turn, you can choose to activate
an appended spell in your Spell Matrix, gaining the Hedron Archive
effects of the spell and any effects from the rudiments Craig J. Spearing, WotC

used to initially cast it. While one or more spells are

active this way, you must use your concentration to keep
the Spell Matrix active, but do not need to concentrate
on the individual appended spells. If you lose
concentration on the Spell Matrix, all active appended
spells are deactivated and cannot be reactivated until
you finish a short or long rest.
At the beginning of each of your turns while the Spell
Matrix is active, you must use your bonus action to
expend a spell slot of a level equal to or greater than the
sum of the levels of the activated spells minus one. If
you do not expend a spell slot this way, all spells
appended to your Spell Matrix deactivate and the Spell Minor Rudiments
Matrix cannot be used again until you finish a short rest.
You may choose to deactivate any number of appended Energetic Dilation

Transience
When you cast a spell that has a duration of one minute
or longer, you may shorten its length to “until the start
of your next turn”. If you do so, the spell does not
require concentration and gains one of the following
benefits of your choice:
• The spell’s range is doubled.
• You roll twice the number of damage dice.
• The spell attack roll is made with advantage.
• Saving throws made against the spell are made with
disadvantage.
• The spell is cast as a bonus action.
Manifest Form
When you cast a spell with an instantaneous duration,
you may attempt to stabilize the spell, allowing for it to
maintain its presence. Make an Arcana check (DC = 10
+ 2 * Spell Level). If you fail, the spell appears briefly,
then uses the Arcane Eruption action centered on you. If
you succeed, the spell now requires concentration and
becomes a Living Spell (see stat block) for one minute.
The spell acts independently, but shares initiative with
you. If the spell is ever further than 200 feet for you, it
dissipates.
Advanced Spellshaping
When you cast a spell with an area of effect, you may
alter the shape of the area between the following
additional complex shapes: Wall, Dome, Split Spell. See
the Spell Shapes conversion table for more information.
Exergonic Burst
When you cast a spell that deals damage without an
area of effect, you may strengthen the magic behind the
spell. On a hit, the spell deals force damage instead and
pushes the target(s) a number of feet equal to 3 times
the spell’s level, rounded to the nearest 5 feet, away
from you.
Endergonic Aura
When you cast a spell that scales with spell slot level,
you can have it absorb the energy from the area. All
creatures affected by the spell must make a Charisma
saving throw. If half or more of the affected creatures
fail, the spell is treated as though it were cast with a
spell slot one level higher.
Energy Conversion
When you cast a spell that counters magical effects,
namely Counterspell, Dispel Magic, and Anti-Magic
Field, you can absorb some of the spell energy
dispersed by them. By applying this rudiment to the
casting of one of the aforementioned spells, you regain a
spell slot of a level equal to half the level of the spell
dispersed this way, rounded up. If you use this while
casting Anti-Magic Field with concentration, you can
use this ability on a spell of your choice within the field
once per turn.

Spell Shapes
To determine the dimensions of a new shape, you must
first solve for X in the old shape (see Solution). Once
you solve for X, plug it into the Formula for the new
shape. This will provide you with your new dimensions.

Note: Split spells are spells with two areas of effect.

When you split a spell, you can create any combination
of two of the areas listed in the split spell formula
section. To create a combination with a line and another
shape that is not a line, the line’s length must be (X2)/10
ft. long.
