Mana

Starting at 1st level, you, as well as any other mage, has the ability to use Mana. Mana is an important aspect of every mage that has ever lived, as it is their source of "magic power", which is used to cast magic spells.

You have a number of Mana equal to your level added five times. Whenever you use mana for one of your features, it is spent. You regain all mana lost on a short or long rest.

Mana Types

There is a variety of mana types a mage can use, with some being beneficial while others being dangerous.

Mana. The normal mana, also known as just Mana, is located everywhere around the world and is the mana the great majority of mages use.

Dark Mana. Mana from the underworld is called Dark Mana in the living world, due to its more sinister quality. This mana boosts the power and capabilities of magic but carries the risk of corrupting the bodies, souls, and magic of both users and victims alike; thus, its usage is classified as Forbidden Magic.

Whenever you use Dark Mana, you must make a DC 5 + the amount of Dark Mana used Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, you become corrupted by dark magic and become Berserk until you are knocked unconscious. On a success, you can keep control of your body, however the DC increases by 1 (to a maximum of 30).

If you are an Pure Elf and become Berserk, your subrace is changed to Dark Elf.

If you are any other race however, when you become berserk you gain devil horns on your head that remain indefinetely unless you are a Devil Host.

Natural Mana. Natural mana is the magic acumulated by nature which can only be used by those skilled in the Mana Method.

Mana Exhaustion

A mage that uses all of their mana could end up with severe exhaustion and be rendered unconscious. When you are reduced to 0 Mana, you must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, you receive two levels of exhaustion. On a success, you receive only one level of exhaustion, or none if you have Endurance. If you fail the saving throw by 5 or more, you are also knocked unconscious.

If your mana has been reduced to 0 or below, you won't regain any mana when making short rests until you make a long rest.

Mana Skills

As a Mage, you have been trained in spells and naturally started to learn Mana Skills. You must choose one Mana Skill you meet the prerequisites of.

Whenever you gain a level on this class, you can choose another one of your choice that you meet the prerequisites of.

Grimoire

Also at 1st level, upon turning 15 years old, a mage can attend an annual ceremony where they receive a special book, known as a grimoire. At first, a grimoire is mostly empty, but as the user grows as a person, new spells are inscribed on the blank pages.

Magic Attributes

Unlike mana that exists in nature, the mana that is situated within mages has a specific nature to it, known as an attribute. These attributes are one of the aspects that differentiate one mage from another, with the attribute that a mage possesses is the one that they are born with. You must choose one of the Magical Attributes available at the Mana Attributes page.

Grimoire Origin

Grimoires vary in style, size, width, and even symbols. You gain one of the following grimoire covers based on the kingdom you received your grimoire:

Clover. Your grimoire came from the clover kingdom, having a clover in it's cover, generally being of 3 leafs. If you have the Blessed magic feat, your clover will have 4 leafs. If you choose the Devil Host magic path, your clover will have 5 leafs.

Diamond. Your grimoire came from the Diamond Kingdom, having a diamond on it's cover.

Heart. Your grimoire came from the Heart Kingdom, having a heart on it's cover.

Spade. Your grimoire came from the Spade Kingdom, having a spade on it's cover.

The size of a grimoire is defined by the potential and mana of it's wielder. Your grimoire will have one of the following sizes depending on your mana total:

Tiny. To receive this grimoire you must have a 11 or lower Charisma score. Your grimoire is very tiny, showing your very small amount of mana. This type of grimoire is rare even among commoners, since it's a absurd lack of mana and potential. You have a number of spells equal to half your level (rounded down).

Small. To receive this grimoire you must have a 12 or 13 on your Charisma score. Your grimoire is small, most commoners have this kind of grimoire, it has an ordinary potential but it's mana is still low. You have a number of spells equal to your level. Whenever you gain a level on this class, you have one new spell you can learn.

Medium. To receive this grimoire you must have at least 14 on your Charisma score. Your grimoire is medium, a few amount of commoners possess this type of grimoire while a majority of nobles have them. You have a number of spells equal to your level added twice. Whenever you gain a level on this class, you learn two new spells you can learn.

The following Grimoire sizes can only be obtained if you have the Coverless Grimoire magic feat.

Large. Once you have learned at least 40 spells, your grimoire reaches large size. You cannot carry your grimoire in your grimoire pouch anymore, having to carry it yourself or keeping it floating on the air at all times.

Huge. Once you have learned at least 50 spells, your grimoire reaches Huge size.

Gargantuan. Once you have learned at least 60 spells, your grimoire reaches Gargantuan size.

Transformation Magic: People have disadvantage on telling that your transformations are transformation magic.

Trap Magic: Trap Magic takes half as much time for you to set up.

Weakening Magic: The mana cost for a weakening spell you create is halved.

Spells

While you have small cantrips that help you slightly during the day to day life, the spells you obtain with your grimoire will be what truly define you as a Magic Knight. All of your spells are automatically written in your grimoire as you learn them, with all of them costing mana points.

Learning new Spells. You can learn new spells at the rate described at your grimoire size. You cannot forget or switch a spell once you learned it. You must learn a spell of your current Magic Knight Rank, which is described at the Magic Knight Rank table.

Cantrips

Even commoners of the forsaken realm use magic in their day to day, while most just use their magic for menial tasks like housework you can use these cantrips in combat. When making a cantrip you must use the Spell Creation system as normal but with the following limitations.

• Cantrips can not have a damage die higher than your proficiency bonus -1 and can only inflict or heal minor damage conditions, this applies to both healing and damage spells. Even if your Magic Attributes allows you to add a condition onto spells you still can not make a cantrip apply a condition above minor danger.

• Cantrips can not be classified as any magic type unless your magic attribute says otherwise.

• Cantrips can only use your natural abilities (i.e can not increase range or potency for additional mana)

You may only have a number of cantrip equal to your proficiency bonus and you may not forget or switch a cantrip once it has been learned. Cantrips do not count towards your Grimoire’s spell maximum.

Although Cantrips are severely limited they do not cost any mana to use nor do they require your Grimoire to be in your possession.

Grimoire-less Spells

Although a grimoire is needed for most powerful spells most mages have a set of spells that don't require their grimoire, you are no different.

Any spells that cost equal to or less than your Proficiency bonus added twice have the option to be a Grimoire-less spell and not take a page in the Grimoire.

You can learn a new Grimoire-less spell ever other Level and may have an amount learned equal to half your level (rounded down), when creating and learning these spells you will still follow the Spell Creation rules as normal.

Grimoire-less spells can not be forgotten or swapped out.

Casting Spells
