School of Sigils

Scribemages study and utilize ancient and forgotten magics. Historians, sages, seekers of knowledge, they practice the obscure School of Sigilism to create Scribe Sigils, which they use to enhance their abilities and gain temporary use of spells they otherwise might not have access to.

You use WIS to cast spells instead of INT.

Lore as Armor

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you gain an unarmored bonus equal to WIS while not wearing armor. You can use a shield with this bonus.

Create Sigil

Beginning at 2nd level, you can create Sigils for yourself, up to 3 at a time, as a bonus action. The Sigil will appear as a mystical letter orbiting the caster.

To create a Sigil, choose a Level and School of magic. You gain knowledge of all spells in that Level and School, and may cast such spells so long as you have the appropriate Sigil.

As an Action, you can also launch one of your Sigils towards a target up to 50 feet away. The Sigil does 1d10 + WIS damage. Damage type is dependent on the School of magic the Sigil reflects. Sigils can be dissipated at will, requiring no action.

Force - Abjuration, Conjuration, Evocation
Psychic - Enchantment, Illusion
Necrotic - Necromancy
Radiant - Divination
Thunder - Transmutation

Extended Sigils

Starting at 6th level, your spells last longer.

Turn-based spells last 1 turn longer.

Time-based spells last 1 hour longer.

Spells with an Immediate effect now last 2 turns.

Scribe's Rebuttal

Beginning at 10th level, you can make a reactionary WIS Check whenever you are attacked. If you roll 20, you gain +1 WIS until the end of the battle. Your WIS Modifier now also increases the damage or healing done by the spells you cast.

Magic of the Ancients

Starting at 14th level, you can create extra Sigils equal to half your proficiency bonus. Your Sigils will now also provide passive buffs depending on their school of magic. The Sigil bonuses stack.
