School of Technology

Spellcasting is primarily flavored in the idea of spells being inherently tied to a magical source. While this is very much the conventional case, it isn’t to say it isn’t impossible that spells can be emulated with the mundane. In the case of the School of Technology, wizards aren’t simply mages but incredibly creative engineers with the knowledge on how to perfectly match the awesome power of magic with powerful technology. With each spell comes a technological counterpart that can perform the same task as quickly and efficiently.
What separates these specialized wizards is their ability to use technology to make their special form of spellcasting even more potent compared to conventional spellcasters and even other wizards. And with a passion for technology, these wizards will revolutionize the world with their wondrous creations.

You have a completely unique way of storing the knowledge of your spells. Your spellbook transforms into a special advanced device that you determine the shape and appearance of.

You have a strong background in the field of engineering that allows you to combine the wonders of magic and technology. Whenever you are about to cast a Wizard spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can have your spell take the form of a technological device that you have prepared. The spell no longer requires verbal or somatic components and the spell save DC increases by 1. The spell effect also becomes nonmagical for the purposes of bypassing resistances to magic.
