Your magical ability comes from within, its power a manifestation of your will, rather than arcane ritual and material components. Without being confined by strict practice, you can plumb the depths of your gift, as the risk of being burned by the very arcane forces you seek to master. You gain the following benefits:
- Spells requiring material components listed without a gp value may be cast without supplying these items. Spells with a material component with a listed value still require that it be provided.
- When casting a spell, you may attempt to increase the level at which it manifests, without expending a higher level spell slot. Should you choose to do so, you must pass an ability check with a difficulty equal to 10 + twice the number of level increase attempted. You may add your spell attack bonus to this check. If you succeed, the spell is cast at this increased level with no harmful side effect. If you fail, you sustain D10 psychic damage per level you were attempting to overcast by, and the spell is cast normally, unless this damage renders you unconscious. This damage cannot be resisted, reduced or negated in any way, but can be healed normally.
