School of Alternate Magic

Wizards of this school of magic learn of a different source of magic, one they have dubbed "Magic Potential" or MP for short. This magic source, unlike traditional spell slots, is free flowing and changing. Wizards of this school can still use spell slots, but they may manipulate this MP as either a replacement for spell slots, or they can channel it directly into magical effects.

Magic Potential

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you gain access to "Magic Potential" or MP for short. You have the amount of MP equal to twice your wizard class level. You may change MP into spell slots using the table below, the amount of spell slots you have cannot exceed the amount shown in the Wizard table. You may also change spell slots into MP, when you do this you gain MP equal to the level of spell slot spent. You regain all spent MP at the end of a long rest. Any MP gained over the maximum for your level will be lost.

Spell Slot Level	MP Cost
1st	2
2nd	3
3rd	5
4th	8
5th	12
6th	17
7th	23
8th	30
9th	38

Influential MP

Starting at 2nd level, you learn ways to channel your MP into magical effects that either enhance your spells or do direct effects. You may choose 2 influences at 2nd level.
