School of Electromancy

Through your studies within the school of Evocation, you seek mastery over a particular element. Lightning, electricity. You seek to charge yourself in a manner that pushes you beyond that of your standard Evocation mage.

Clear Cut Focus

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you neglected many of your studies regarding other Evocation based spells. The gold and time you must spend to copy an evocation spell into your spellbook is reduced by 75%, rounding up. Spells that deal lightning damage are able to be added for free.

Electric Personality

- You gain the shocking grasp cantrip if you do not already have it. (You can use the cantrip as a bonus action, but expose yourself to opportunity attacks as a result.)

Rising Surge. All spells that deal lightning damage gain a slight boost due to your skill with them. This is equal to 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier. (The damage increases to 1d6 at 6th-level, 1d8 at 10th, and 1d10 at 14th).

Take Charge

Your skill with shocking grasp and electricity spells improves vastly.

• When using shocking grasp, roll an additional d20. On a 12 or higher, the target must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, or be stunned until the start of your next turn.
• You gain the lightning bolt spell if you do not already have it.

Your body also becomes naturally charged with your own, arcane infused lightning. This can benefit you through the following options, varied on your play style:

• Adept Electromancer. You can cast this spell without expending a spellslot an amount of times equal to half your Intelligence modifier. All uses are regained at the end of a long rest. (This improves to an amount of times equal to your entire Intelligence modifier, with uses regained on a short rest at 10th-level).

• Infuse Charge. You are able to touch an item of your choosing and fuel it with your arcane electricity. The item must have more than one charge, and have expended charges prior to taking this action (Minimum of one charge expended). Roll 1d4, and that is the amount of charges the item regains. You get all uses of this ability back on a long rest. (Your charge die increases to 1d6 at 10th-level, and 1d8 at 14th-level.)

• Lightning Rebuke. Whenever you are hit by an attack, you expel hostile volts of electricity towards the target equal to half your wizard level. Alternatively, you can cast the spell lightning bolt as a reaction (once per short rest). Doing this does not cost you a spellslot. Additionally, if the target was within 5ft of you, they roll their Dexterity saving throw with disadvantage.
