Legacy etched in light, memory forged in magic.
As a sentient construct born from the fusion of spellcraft and sapient will, you are not merely shaped by magic—you are magic. Runes twist through your essence like veins, and arcane formulae drift in your consciousness like dreams. When exposed to spellwork, you don’t just observe—you record, your matrix humming with new data, your form instinctively rewriting itself to reflect what it learns. But this capacity is unstable, volatile, and must be wielded with precision lest the borrowed magic corrupt their core.
Through this living grimoire of experience, you carry fragments of the world’s arcane tapestry within yourself—a mind as much a memory bank as a soul.

When you witness a spell being cast (or are affected by one), you may attempt to imprint it into your living matrix.
Limited Capacity: You can store 1 spell at a time, by current level modifier, which must be of a level you can currently cast.
| Character Level | IMPRINT SPELL SLOTS |
|---|---|
| 1 | +1 (1st level) |
| 2–3 | +2 (1st–2nd level) |
| 4–5 | +3 (1st–3rd level) |
| 6–7 | +4 (1st–4th level) |
| 8–9 | +5 (1st–5th level) |
| 10–11 | +6 (1st–6th level) |
| 12–13 | +7 (1st–7th level) |
| 14–15 | +8 (1st–8th level) |
| 16–17 | +9 (1st–9th level) |
| 18–20 | +10 (1st–9th level) |
Trigger Condition: You must succeed on an Arcana check (DC = 10 + spell level) immediately after witnessing the spell. If you succeed, you may “record” it in your memory.
Casting the Imprinted Spell: You can cast the stored spell once, using your spell slots and normal casting rules. It counts as being on your class list while stored.
Overwrite: Storing a new spell erases a previous one.
Usage Limit: You may imprint a spell in this way once per long rest. You can cast the stored spell as long as it's within your slot range and still imprinted
Suggested Characteristics
When you store a spell, glowing glyphs float across your body or flash in your eyes, like magical RAM.
When casting spells, the glyphs on your body shift and rearrange like puzzle pieces, glowing more intensely.
You can't replicate unique or divine spells (like Wish or Miracle), only common arcane spells.
