Wizard
“What the grimoire holds, the mind must still recall.”
Description
What the class is, and what it becomes as the levels pass.
The Wizard is not just a bookworm. Magic, for them, is a discipline built through study: a grimoire that grows spell by spell, a mind trained to hold and recall the ones that matter most in the moment. Whether they devote themselves to a single path, spread their study across several, or collect from every school without discrimination, their power is proportional to what they have learned — and to what they can actually remember when it counts.

You have Spell Slots as given by the Full Caster Slots rule for your level.GrimoireGrimoireWhenever new spells become available to you, you learn a share of them equal to what a wizard devoted to a single path would learn, divided evenly across the paths open to you (with at least one spell from each). Spells already known are never lost, even if a later choice (such as an archetype) changes which paths you draw from.MemoryMemoryEach time you finish a Long Rest, choose from your grimoire a number of spells equal to 1.5 times your Intelligence modifier (rounded up) plus your wizard level, minimum 1: these are your memorized spells for the day, the only ones you can cast until your next Long Rest (subject to your available Spell Slots).Ritual AdeptRitual AdeptYou can cast any memorized spell that has the Ritual tag without expending a Spell Slot, taking 10 extra minutes to cast it this way.Arcane RecoveryArcane RecoveryOnce per day, during a Short Rest, you can recover expended Spell Slots with a combined level equal to half your wizard level (rounded up); none of the recovered slots can be of level 6 or higher.

Whenever new spells become available across those paths, the wizard learns a third of them, always including at least one spell from each path (their choice which).Epicurean · Boundless CuriosityEpicurean — Boundless CuriosityThe wizard may learn spells from any path without restriction.
