In a mundane and lonely world what could be better than creating your own friend? The conjurer's guild looks to make accessible and easily mastered conjuration spells. And for its more trusted members it helps provide more complicated and potentially dangerous summoning spells. As a member you are expected to study conjuration in your own way, however you see fit. The members are often concentrated to a single area of the world but after students graduate the initial stages of the guild they often spread out. You might be able to find like-minded individuals elsewhere in the world.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Medicine
- Tool Proficiencies: Many conjurers study jewel craft as well due to the old belief that you could store elementals and other summons inside of jewels, this was obviously proven false.
- Languages: One of your choice
| d4 | Clades and Projects |
|---|---|
| 1 | You specialize in summoning small beasts. |

When you attempt to learn or recall a magical or scientific fact, if you don’t know that information, you know where and from whom you can obtain it. Usually, this information comes from a Simic laboratory, or sometimes from an Izzet facility, a library, a university, or an independent scholar or other learned person or creature. Knowing where the information can be found doesn’t automatically enable you to learn it; you might need to offer bribes, favors, or other incentives to induce people to reveal their secrets.
Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an inaccessible place, or that it simply can’t be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.
Spell List
For you, the spells on the conjurer's spell list table are added to the spell list of your spellcasting class. (If you are a multiclass character with multiple spell lists, these spells are added to all of them.)
| Spell Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| Cantrip | druidcraft, mage hand |
| 1st | arms of hadar, find familiar, ice knife |
| 2nd | find steed, flock of familiars, healing spirit |
| 3rd | conjure animals, conjure barrage, hunger of hadar |
| 4th | conjure woodland beings, find greater steed |
| 5th | summon celestial |
You are encouraged to learn other summoning spells, but here are a few that you can learn early on:
Suggested Characteristics
Conjurers are often considered a strange bunch, as other spellcasters prefer to access their abilities themselves, we choose to have our friends help us:
| d8 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I can’t wait to see what I become next! |
| 2 | I am convinced that everything inclines toward constant improvement. |
| 3 | I’m eager to explain every detail of my most intricate experiments and theories to anyone who shows the least bit of interest. |
| 4 | I assume that everyone needs even the most basic concepts explained to them. |
| 5 | I describe everything that happens as if it were going into my research notes (and it often is). |
| 6 | I am insatiably curious about the seemingly infinite forms and adaptations of life. |
| 7 | I can’t resist prying into anything forbidden, since it must be terribly interesting. |
| 8 | I employ a highly technical vocabulary to avoid imprecision and ambiguity in my communication. |
| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Summoner. My summons are all that really matters. (Any) |
| 2 | Change. All life is meant to progress toward perfection, and our work is to hurry it along — no matter what must be upended along the way. (Chaotic) |
| 3 | Knowledge. Understanding the world is more important than what you do with your knowledge. (Neutral) |
| 4 | Greater Good. I want to reshape the world into higher forms of life so that all can enjoy evolution. (Good) |
| 5 | Logic. It’s foolish to let emotions and principles interfere with the conclusions of logic. (Lawful) |
| 6 | Superiority. My vast intellect and strength are directed toward increasing my sway over others. (Evil) |
| d6 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | I helped create a krasis that I love like a pet and would carry with me everywhere … except it’s the size of a building, and it might eat me. |
| 2 | In my laboratory, I discovered something that I think could eliminate half the life on Ravnica. |
| 3 | The other researchers in my clade are my family — a big, eccentric family including members and parts of many species. |
| 4 | The laboratory where I did my research contains everything that is precious to me. |
| 5 | I will get revenge on the shortsighted fool who killed my precious krasis creation. |
| 6 | Everything I do is an attempt to impress someone I love. |
| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | I have a rather embarrassing mutation that I do everything I can to keep hidden. |
| 2 | I’m more interested in taking notes on monstrous anatomy than in fighting monsters. |
| 3 | Every social situation I’m in seems to lead to my asking rude personal questions. |
| 4 | I’m supremely confident in my ability to adapt to any situation and handle any danger. |
| 5 | I’ll take any risk to earn recognition for my scientific brilliance. |
| 6 | I have a tendency to take shortcuts in my research and any other tasks I have to complete. |

Posted Jun 15, 2023If anyone has any comments, suggestions or potential improvements please let me know: the goal of this background was to make it so wizards could have some more access to a few other conjuration spells that branch out beyond just elementals and demons. I personally can't see why you can summon a demon or fiend but not celestial or horse. So let me know if you have any ideas to improve the background!
