Editing Cerulean Storm (section)

==Cerulean Wizards==
Naturally, with a new source of magical yet elemental power available to it, Athasian [[wizard]]s began tinkering with trying to draw power from it. This resulted in the debut of the Cerulean Wizard amongst the other [[kits]] in the [[splatbook]] "Defilers & Preservers: The Wizards of Athas".

::Class Restrictions: Cerulean Wizards can be [[Defiler]]s or [[Preserver]]s as their base class, but cannot [[Multiclassing|dual-class or multiclass]] as any combination other than Cerulean Wizard/[[Psion]]icist.
::Available Races: [[Aarakocra]], [[Elf]], [[Half-Elf]], [[Human]]
::[[Stats]] Requirements: [[Intelligence]] 15, [[Constitution]] 12
::[[Alignment]] Requirement: Any Chaotic
::Nonweapon Proficiencies:
:::Bonus: Lens Crafting, Weather Sense
:::Recommended: Ancient History; Artistic Ability; Engineering; Gem Cutting, Languages (Ancient), Reading/Writing, Spellcraft, Spellweaving
::Special Benefits:
:::'''Eye of the Storm:''' Cerulean Wizards don't use spell components. Instead, they use a blue glass lens, which requires a week of work (4 hours/day) and a successful Lens Crafting proficiency roll to make. They can only have two of these spell focuses at once.
:::'''Tyr-Storm Drinker:''' By using a blue glass lens as a focus point, a Cerulean Wizard can attempt to drain a Tyr-storm that is within 30 miles of their present position. If the Wizard succeeds a save vs spells at a -2 penalty, the Tyr-storm is rendered harmless (DM's call on if this turns it into a gentle rainstorm or simply makes it vanish entirely) and the blue glass lens is filled with enough energy to power the wizard's daily allotment of spells. If the save is failed, though, the lens shatters and the Tyr-storm immediately falls upon the wizard's present location.
:::'''Lesser [[Elementalist]]:''' A Cerulean Wizard can cast up to '''4''' elemental spells per day without attracting the hostile attention of the elemental spirits... exactly what this means isn't explained in Defilers & Preservers, and the idea appears nowhere else in Dark Sun.
::Special Hindrances:
:::'''Fickle Power Supply:''' A Cerulean Wizard must make a Power Gathering Check, like a [[Defiler]]. Due to the nature of the Cerulean Storm, they roll a D10 to determine the "terrain type" portion of that table; 1 = barren, 2-4 = infertile, 5-7 = fertile, 8-9 = abundant, 10 = lush.
:::'''Focus Dependent:''' If a Cerulean Wizard loses both of their blue glass lenses, then they cast spells as if they were a [[Preserver]] of (Level-3) and must supply the normal spell components for their spells. If this drops their effective level too low to cast spells, then they can't cast spells.
:::'''Unwitting Storm Herald:''' Every day that a cerulean casts spells in the same 10-mile radius area, there is a 5% chance per cerulean level that a Tyr-storm will spontaneously manifest in that area. Roll a d100 once per day to make this check.
:::'''Voices in the Storm:''' Once per month, the cerulean must make a Wisdom check with a -2 penalty or have their [[alignment]] shift by 1 sep stowards Evil. If already Evil, they are compelled to perform a simple service for Tithian. If their alignment shifts, success on the next month's Wisdom check lets the cerulean work towards recovering their original alignment.
