Editing Blackstaff's Tome of Wizardry (section)

==School of Mentalism==
You might think that this is a [[psion]] using a wizard's chassis and... well, you're not exactly ''wrong'', but in fact these sub-specialist [[enchanter]]s are actually a [[Mentalist|real old-school wizard subclass]] from back in the days of AD&D. This version openly admits that it straddles the line between the wizard and the psion.

Mentalists gain a vastly increased affinity for mindfuckery magic. This is symbolized by their first 2nd level feature, '''Whisper Magic''', which gives them Vicious Mockery as a free cantrip, halves the gold & time it takes to add spells that do Psychic damage to the spellbook, and lets them learn any spell from any spell list that does Psychic damage.

Their other 2nd level feature, '''Tendrils of Doubt''', further showcases how good Mentalists are with fucking around with their enemies' minds; any creature that takes Psychic damage from a Mentalist suffers Disadvantage on attack rolls against both the Mentalist and one other creature of the Mentalist's choice until the start of the Mentalist's next turn.

At level 6, the '''Bond of the Mentalist''' gives the wizard telepathy with a range of 30 feet, with this range increasing by +30 feet at 11th and 17th levels.

'''Demoralizing Onslaught''', the Mentalist's 10th level feature, lets them change the damage type of a spell into Psychic damage once per day.

Their final feature is 14th level's '''Guileful Retort''', which lets the Mentalist use a Reaction when they take damage from an enemy attack to cast Vicious Mockery on the triggering enemy. This can be done Int modifier times per day.
