Phil os opher

Philosophers have focused their study of wizardry
on the fundamental nature of existence and reality.
They seek the most quintessential truths of creation
and manipulate those forces and substances through
alchemical practice. Through understanding,
deconstruction, and reconstruction, they master the
natural energies of the world around them and alter it to
their will.

Level 3: ALCHEMICAL KNOWLEDGE

You gain a set of Alchemist’s Supplies. You have
proficiency with it and can use it as an Arcane Focus.
Additionally, you can use Alchemist’s Supplies instead of
the normal tool to craft a magic item.

Level 3: QUINTESSENCE

Material Component. When you cast a spell,
you can expend Quintessence to serve as the spell’s
Material components up to a value of 100 GP per
Quintessence expended.

Reagent. When you scribe a spell into your
spellbook, or when you use Alchemist’s Supplies to
craft a magic item, you can expend Quintessence
to serve as 50 GP worth of material for the task per
Quintessence expended.

Vitriolic Enhancement. When you cast a spell that
deals damage, you can expend 1 Quintessence as an
additional Material component to change one damage
type the spell deals to Force

Level 6: ALBEDO

You can purify your Quintessence to amplify your spells.
When you cast a spell using a spell slot, you can expend
1 Quintessence as a Material component to increase the
level of the spell slot by 1, up to level 9. The maximum
Quintessence you can expend in this way on a given
spell is half of your Pro5ciency Bonus (rounded up).

Level 10: CITRINITAS

You can now manipulate Quintessence to create, not
merely to purify. You always have the Creation and
Fabricate spells prepared, and you can cast each spell
once without expending a spell slot, regaining the
ability to do so when you finish a Long Rest. When
you cast a spell using this feature, you can cast the spell
as an action rather than its normal casting time. You
can also cast the spells normally using spell slots of the
appropriate level.
Additionally, when you cast Creation, you can expend
a number of Quintessence up to your Intelligence
modifier (minimum of 1) to multiply the spell’s duration
by 1 plus the amount expended.

Level 14: RUBEDO

The culmination of your great work, you can now distill
your perfected knowledge of existence into a physical
form. When you finish a Short or Long Rest, you
can expend 10 Quintessence to create a philosopher’s
stone—a translucent red crystal. The stone is a Tiny
magical object with AC 19, HP 20, and Immunity
to all damage except Force. If you create a second
philosopher’s stone, the first one vanishes. While you
carry the stone, it grants you the following benefits.
Amplification. When you cast a spell, you can
expend up to 2 Quintessence as an additional Material
component to increase your spell save DC for that spell
by the same amount.
Equivalent Exchange. When you fail a saving throw,
you can take a Reaction to expend 5 Quintessence to
succeed on the save instead.
Longevity. You stop aging and don’t suffer any effects
from old age, including dying from it.
Sympathy. The stone counts as part of your body
for the purpose of the Scrying spell and for spells that
restore you to life if you die. The stone itself serves
as the Material component for the spell (if any) and is
destroyed when the spell is cast.
