Your Spellbook
The spells that you add to your spellbook as you gain
levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on your
own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had
about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other
spells during your adventures. You could discover a
spell recorded on a scroll in a Mummy's Tomb, for
example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library.
A spellbook doesn't contain cantrips.
Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a spell of
1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it
is appropriate to your Faith, of a spell level you can
prepare, and if you can spare the time to decipher and
copy it. Copying a spell into your spellbook involves
reproducing the basic form of the spell, then
deciphering the unique system of notation used by the
spellcaster who wrote it. You must practice the spell
until you understand the sounds or gestures required,
then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own
notation. The process takes 2 hours per level of the
spell. Once you have done this, you can prepare the
spell just like your other spells.
Copying from a Spell Scroll. A spell on a spell scroll can
be copied just as spells in spellbooks can be copied.
When you copy a spell from a spell scroll, you must
succeed on an Arcana check with a DC equal to 10 +
the spell's level. If the check succeeds, the spell is
successfully copied. Whether the check succeeds or
fails, the spell scroll is destroyed.
Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from your
own spellbook into another book—for example, if you
want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is
just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but
faster and easier, since you understand your own
notation and already know how to cast the spell. You
need spend only 1 hour for each level of the copied
spell. If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same
procedure to transcribe the spells that you have
prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder
of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do
so, as normal. For this reason, many wizards keep
backup spellbooks in a safe place.
The Book's Appearance. Your spellbook is a unique
compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes
and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather
volume that you received as a gift from your master, a
finely bound gilt-edged tome you found in an ancient
library, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged
together after you lost your previous spellbook.
Willworking
Though you cast spells by providing the necessary components
and focuses as usual, your ability to do so comes from your belief
in your Faith, and sometimes you believe so hard that you can do
something that even though you shouldn't be able to, you can
anyway. Starting at 3rd level, by spending a number of Hack points
as though creating a spell slot of the appropriate level, you can
cause the effects of any spell of that level - even a spell you don't
know - or any other effect of equivalent power or usefulness.
Explain to the DM what effect you are trying to cause, and why
your character's belief in her Faith causes her to believe she can
do so. The DM is the final arbiter of what is possible with
Willworking, but is encouraged to be generous.
Willworking provokes Glitch in the same way as casting a
Gratuitous spell, even if the effect is equivalent to a spell level that
would not ordinarily count as Gratuitous.
Ability Score Improvement
At 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can
increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase
two ability scores of your choice by 1, or you can choose a Feat or
5 Bonus Points worth of Merits.
Metamagic
At 6th level, you gain the ability to twist your spells to suit your
needs. You gain two Metamagic options of your choice from
among those available to a Sorcerer. You gain another one at 10th,
14th, 18th, and 20th level.
You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you
cast it, unless otherwise noted. You use Hack Points in place of
Sorcery Points for your Metamagic.
Perfect Self
At 20th level, when you roll for initiative and have no Hack points
remaining, you regain 4 Hack points. In addition, you can cast
spells at 5th-level or lower without providing components.
