Field of Study

Alchemical Casting

Starting at 2nd level, you can enhance the energy of a spell by altering the spell’s formula as you cast it.

You have a number of Alchemical Casting dice equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of one). Your Alchemical Casting die is a d6. Your number of stored Alchemical Casting dice returns to this number when you finish a long rest.

If you roll damage for a spell, as a bonus action you can expend any number of stored Alchemical Casting die to do additional damage. You may select a number of objects affected by your spell up to your wizard level divided by 2, rounded down. Increase the damage dealt to the selected objects by the total rolled with the expended Alchemical Casting die, and use the same damage type as the triggering spell.

Additionally, if you add Alchemical Casting die to a spell that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, you can replace the damage type of both the spell and Alchemical Casting die with another damage type from that list.

Your Alchemical Casting die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 6th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 14th level.

Field of Study Improvement

Starting at 6th level, your experiences have led you to a high level of expertise in your field of study. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for two skills or one skill and one tool of your choice related to your field of study.

Elemental Conduit

Starting at 6th level, you learn to unravel spells and convert their energy for your use. You know the spells absorb elements and chaos bolt as wizard spells, and do not have to have them prepared in order to cast them.

When you cast absorb elements as a reaction, you can convert each d6 of stored elemental energy into an Alchemical Casting die, rather than releasing the energy through a melee hit.

When you cast chaos bolt as an action, you can use your bonus action to reabsorb some of the remaining elemental energy. When you do this, you gain one Alchemical Casting die for each attack roll you make with this spell.

Prodigious Inspiration

At 10th level, you have attained a greater mastery of spell preparation. As a bonus action, you can replace one spell you have prepared with another spell from your spellbook. You can’t use this ability again until you finish a short or long rest.

Controlled Chaos

Starting at 14th level, you can use your reaction to interact with the energies of a spell that deals damage to you. When you do this, you take half damage on a failed save, and no damage on a full save. Until you finish a short or long rest, you may cast it once as a wizard spell if it is not a wizard spell. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
