Magic User Basics

Magic Users cast their spells by using their acquired magical knowledge (augmented by their Intelligence score) and experience. In particular, they learn most new spells by seeking out magical writings and copying them into their spellbooks, a method that allows them (unlike sorcerers) to master any number of permissible spells once they find them, assembling a broad and versatile arsenal of power. Many Magic Users see themselves not only as spell casters but also as philosophers, inventors, and scientists, studying a system of natural laws that are for the most part unknown and undiscovered.


Casting: When the need calls for a certain spell to be cast, magic users will allow their thoughts to retreat back into their consciousness in order to obtain it, and it often appears that magic users are in trances while they are casting. While there is some credence to that, they are not so much entranced that they cannot recognize the immediate perils surrounding them.


When they find the spell they want, magic users will then complete the trigger sequence. This is the common view of a magic users casting: voicing several strange words, utilizing some arcane component, like tossing pixie dust, and perhaps making some sort of quirky hand movement. In actuality every part of the sequence must be exact or else the magic user may miscast, misfire, cast an entirely different spell, or cast nothing at all.


For example to trigger the spell Ignite Wood, a magic user would need to first speak the final words of the spell and then spread shavings of brimstone and sulphuric ash reagents onto the desired piece of wood to ignite.
