High Mage (Tatters of Myth Drannor)

Draw and Sculpt the Weave of Magic

The mightiest wizards of Myth Drannor were undoubtedly the high mages. These arcane spellcasters drew raw magical power from the Weave and used to enhance their spells in spectacular and unique ways. It was the most powerful of high mages who crafted the first Mythal and then shared that secret with other realms, though Myth Drannor remained the first and best example of the arcane application. 

Level 3: Magic Superiority

Your expertise with the arcane arts grants you a wellspring of power to draw upon to enhance your magical spells. You learn magic arts that are fueled by special dice called Magic Superiority Dice.

Magic Arts. You learn three magic arts of your choice from the “Magic Art Options” section later in this subclass’ description. Many magic arts enhance spells in some way, though you can only use one magic art per spell. You learn one additional magic art of your choice when you reach Wizard levels 6, 10, and 14. Each time you learn a new magic art, you can also replace one magic art you know with a different one.

Magic Superiority Dice. You have three Magic Superiority Dice, which are d8s. A Magic Superiority Die is expended when you use it. You regain all expended Magic Superiority Dice when you finish a Short or Long Rest. You gain an additional Magic Superiority Die when you reach Wizard levels 6 (four dice total) and 14 (five dice total).

Saving Throw. If a magic art requires a saving throw, the DC is the same as your spell save DC.

Distracting Spell. When you hit a creature with a spell attack roll, you can expend one Magic Superiority Die to distract the target. Add the Magic Superiority Die roll to the attack’s damage roll.
