School of Emulation

Over the years of study and travel, a Wizard may never excel in a particular magical school due to laziness, inattentiveness, or just by choice. Some Wizards in this vein become “masters” of copying more dignified and focused spellcasters. These Wizards try their best to fit in by emulating things they see, being addicted to their notes and learning how to magically enchant their pages to expedite this process.

Magical Parchment

When you take this Arcane Tradition at 2nd- level, you gain the ability to create Magical Parchment. You create a number of Magical Parchment equal to your proficiency bonus after a long rest.

You can only have a number of Magical Parchment equal to your proficiency bonus, ignoring item, effect, or magical benefits. A piece of Magical Parchment can only be used for one effect and when used will become unusable for any other effect and will dissipate after your next long rest.
• As an action, half the time and remove the cost of transcribing a spell.
• As a bonus action, copy a piece of non-magical paper; this effect can’t be used for transcribing spells.
• When you see a spell cast, change the damage type of that spell to its opposite on the “Paired Opposites table”, you can only use this ability once per round.

Spell Seize

Starting at 6th-level you gain a new way to use your Magical Parchment.

When you see a spell cast, you can use your reaction to use a piece of Magical Parchment to copy that spell. Your highest spell-slot must be equal to or higher level than the spell’s original spell-slot level to copy it.

When used in this way, you gain one free use of the spell copied by the Magical Parchment and the ability to cast the spell using your available spell slots until the Magical Parchment dissipates.

The spell cannot be copied into a spellbook nor can it be transcribed by normal means or by using another piece of Magical Parchment. When the parchment dissipates so does the copied spell.

Arcane Fluidity

Starting at 10th-level, you gain a new way to use Magical Parchment.

Once per short rest, you may one piece of Magical Parchment to exchange two prepared spells of a spell-slot level to prepare one unprepared spell of that same spell-slot level until your next long rest.

Indefinite Emulation

Starting at 14th-level, you may now scribe spells copied by Spell Seize..
