The Alchemist

During the time you spent studying the misunderstood and acient art of alchemy, you have stubbled into a tome from a long forgten time. The Epitome Alchemicae. Withim it's pages you have learned many secrets and have been given a glance at another way to approch magic itself. 

If the Epitome showed you advanced ways in wich you can craft elixirs and potions, a great part of it's knowledge is locked behing a complex magic cypher that neither you or anyone you know can understand. One day, as you are once more studiying the tome, you felt someone, reaching out to your mind awekening from a timeless slumber. The alchemist, who wrote of the Epitome as their final work before passing out. A powerfull wizard from another era who have spent their life studiying the deepest secrects of alchemy. They appear as surprised as you are to be talking to you, and it seems that when they puted so much of themselfs in the writing of the tome that a part of their very soul came along with it, inhabiting it, dormant until someone studies enough of their knowledge and awekening to ensure that this knowledge is given to someone who can understand it. 

You have made a pact with the forgoten alchemist, alowing you to decypher the Epitome Alchemicae and granting you a part of their power. You are able to master the deepest secrets of alchemy and to brew the weave itself. In retrun you welcom the presence of the alchemist and allow them to exist withim you at the edges of your mind. are they beeing candid with you ? or are they hiding their own agenda ? Hard too really understand their intention but you feel drawn by the secrects of the art. 

 

Note : I've made this subclass for a player acording to their backstory, you can totaly ditch the all epitome and "The Alchemist" part and just use the subclass and do your own thing.

Spells in a bottle

Starting at 1st level, The way you approch the weave is rather unique. Insted of weilding and bending it to your will, like any other spellcaster, you use it to infuse your potion with magical property, you have the ability to brew with the weave. 

Therefore you don"t use spellslots to cast your spells, you use vials. 

The vials each contain one spell you know, up to one vial per spell known. When you cast a spell the vial contaning said spell is emptied an cannot be used again until it's refilled

You can cast any number of spells per day as long as the matching vials are full. 

You can refill up to 1d4 vials after a long rest. 

Cantrips vials does not need to refiil, you can still cast them at will. 

Note : This feature overrides the spell slot system, do not use them in combat, you will need to have a separete sheet with your known spell and mark them off as you use them.

Once you have brewed a potion you can chose to brew insted of rolling on the table, however you can't brew any potion more than once before you rolled on the table again.

Any potion made with this feature expires at the next dawn leaving nothing but distilled water in the vial.

Weave in a bottle

Starting at 14th level, you learn the full extent of your alchemy and are able to isolate and modify the weave withim your vials. 

As a bonus action you can chose to mix another spell vial with another. You must one spell to use and another to mix it with. When you do so you can alter the spell by changing or removing any number of letters from the spell name. For exemple : you can alter the "Cause fear" spell into : "Cause Dear" resulting on a spell that summons a Dear. 

However when you cast the altered spell, it has a chance to turn wild. Upon casting the spell, roll a d100. Changing or removing one letter makes the DC10. Each addictional letter adds 20 to the DC. (ex : 3 letters = DC50 on a D100) On a failure, roll on the wild magic surge table. 

Cantrip vials can't be use to either alter a spell or to be altered by another vial. 

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your charisma modifier untill the next long rest. 

Note : The effect of the spell is the result of your initial idea and the DM rulling,
