Way Of The Arcanist Mind

Monks following the Way Of The Arcanist Mind becomes able to focus their minds to control magical forces. They learn to expand their senses fare beyond their normal reaches. They can create forces to enhance their own abilities or impede others. They even learn to change the physical world around them to better suit their needs. When faced with foes who rely on magic they also have the tools to hamper their foes abilities to cast.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you have learned to focus your mind and ki enough to obtain the ability to cast spells. 

Spell Slots. The Arcanist Mind spell slot table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. 

You prepare the list of Arcanist Mind spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Arcanist Mind spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Arcanist Mind spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your Monk level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Arcanist Mind spells requires time spent in deep meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list, this time can overlap with the time you spend to regain ki points.

Spellcasting Ability. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Arcanist Mind spells, since you learn your spells through meditation and reflection. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Arcanist Mind spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
