You know three Wizard cantrips of your choice. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Wizard cantrip of your choice. When you reach Wizard levels 4 and 10, you learn another Wizard cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Wizard Features table. Spellbook. Your wizardly apprenticeship culminated in the creation of a unique book: your spellbook. It is a Tiny object that weighs 3 pounds, contains 100 pages, and can be read only by you or someone casting Identify. The book contains the level 1+ spells you know. It starts with six level 1 Wizard spells of your choice. Whenever you gain a Wizard level after 1, add two Wizard spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Spell Slots. The Wizard Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest. Prepared Spells of Level 1+. You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To do so, choose four spells from your spellbook. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Wizard levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Wizard Features table. Changing Your Prepared Spells. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells, replacing any of the spells there with spells from your spellbook. Spellcasting Ability. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Wizard spells. Spellcasting Focus. You can use an Arcane Focus or your spellbook as a Spellcasting Focus for your Wizard spells. Ritual Adept You can cast any spell as a Ritual if that spell has the Ritual tag and the spell is in your spellbook. You needn't have the spell prepared, but you must read from the book to cast a spell in this way. Arcane Recovery You can regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. When you finish a Short Rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level equal to no more than half your Wizard level (round up), and none of the slots can be level 6 or higher. For example, if you are a level 4 Wizard, you can recover up to two levels' worth of spell slots, regaining either one level 2 spell slot or two level 1 spell slots. Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.	3	2	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

Evoker

Chosen at level 3

Your studies focus on magic that creates powerful elemental effects such as bitter cold, searing flame, rolling thunder, crackling lightning, and burning acid. Some Evokers find employment in military forces, serving as artillery to blast armies from afar. Others use their power to protect others, while some seek their own gain.

Level 3
Evocation Savant
Choose two Wizard spells from the Evocation school, each of which must be no higher than level 2, and add them to your spellbook for free. In addition, whenever you gain access to a new level of spell slots in this class, you can add one Wizard spell from the Evocation school to your spellbook for free. The chosen spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Potent Cantrip
Your damaging cantrips affect even creatures that avoid the brunt of the effect. When you cast a cantrip at a creature and you miss with the attack roll or the target succeeds on a saving throw against the cantrip, the target takes half the cantrip's damage (if any) but suffers no additional effect from the cantrip.
Level 6
Sculpt Spells
You can create pockets of relative safety within the effects of your evocations. When you cast an Evocation spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 plus the spell's level. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.
Level 10
Empowered Evocation
Whenever you cast a Wizard spell from the Evocation school, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of that spell.
Level 14
Overchannel
You can increase the power of your spells. When you cast a Wizard spell with a spell slot of levels 1-5 that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage with that spell on the turn you cast it. The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effect. If you use this feature again before you finish a Long Rest, you take 2d12 Necrotic damage for each level of the spell slot immediately after you cast it. This damage ignores Resistance and Immunity. Each time you use this feature again before finishing a Long Rest, the Necrotic damage per spell level increases by 1d12.

Pyromancer

Chosen at level 3

*Flame That Heals and Hounds* Your fire spares your friends and clings to your foes; you read omens in the flames, and in time even creatures born of fire burn at your word. (Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition, adapted.)

Level 3
Cleansing Fire
When you cast a fire spell of 1st level or higher with a spell slot, one ally (or you) caught in it regains Hit Points equal to the spell's level plus your Proficiency Bonus instead of taking damage. Name the ally among the spell's targets.
Rituals of Fire
Gazing into a large flame for 10 minutes you can cast Augury; from 7th level, burning an object tied to a creature, Locate Creature; from 9th level, once per rest, stepping into a fire, Dream (you are the messenger). These spells are always prepared for you.
Level 6
Clinging Flames
A creature that fails its saving throw against your fire spell keeps burning: at the start of each of its turns it repeats the save, taking Fire damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) on a failure and putting the flames out on a success.
Level 10
Blazing Mastery
Your spells' fire treats Immunity to fire as Resistance and ignores Resistance to fire. You have Resistance to fire, and your own spells' fire can't harm you.
Level 14
Offerings in Kind
As an action you call on the spirits of fire and roll a d100: if the result is no higher than your wizard level, they intervene (the Game Master decides how); otherwise they name a price. You can also copy any fire spell into your spellbook as a wizard spell.
