 Practitioners of the School of Vitality, commonly called vitalists or white mages, are wizards that have studied the divine magic used in healing. Through manipulation and practice, these wizards use their magic to aid the sick and wounded. They can be found serving as battlefield medics, royal doctors, and traveling healers. Clerics and druids use inherent magic of the divine to heal and bolster comrades. Through a process of arcane manipulation discovered by a young archmage by the name of Timsky, studies made by students of the School of Vitality are able to use a divine healing aura without the pestering need for lifelong dedication to a divine being.

Skilled Healer

At 2nd level you learn the cantrip Spare the Dying. It doesn't count against the number of cantrips you know. You also gain proficiency in the Medicine skill. If you are already proficient add double your proficiency bonus to any checks using it. 

In addition, vitality spells are added to your Wizard spellbook. Vitalists can copy vitality spells from each other's spell books, but other wizards cannot.

Vitality Magic

Starting at 2nd level you gain the ability to recycle expended arcane energy for bolstering and healing. When you expend a spell slot choose one of the following effects. 

• Choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. It either gains a number of temporary hit points or regains a number of hit points equal to the level of the expended spell slot (your choice)
• You gain a number of vitality points equal to the level of the expended spell slot. When you target one or more creatures with a spell that restores hit points, you can expend vitality points to make one target regain additional hit points equal to the number of vitality points expended. You can expend more vitality points to make a different target regain additional hit points as well. 

Additionally, as a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you and expend any number of vitality points. It either gains a number of temporary hit points or regains a number of hit points equal to the number of vitality points expended (your choice). You lose any unused vitality points when you finish a long rest
