1d4chan>QuietBrowser: Added note on Blackstaff's Book of Bloodlines, the sorcerer-focused sequel. I don't know if "The Blackstaff's Book of 1000 Spells/Treasury of Items/Warlock Codex" are related, though.

Added note on Blackstaff's Book of Bloodlines, the sorcerer-focused sequel. I don't know if "The Blackstaff's Book of 1000 Spells/Treasury of Items/Warlock Codex" are related, though.

	At level 2, the Hedge Mage gains '''Favored Enemy'' (as per the [[Ranger]]) and '''Hedge Spellcasting''', which has two methods of use. ''Hedge Defense'' lets the Hedge Mage spend a spell slot as a Reaction when they or an ally within 30 feet is targeted by a spell (the spent spell-slot has to equal the level of the incoming spell) to gain Advantage on the save. ''Hedge Offense'' lets the Hedge Mage burn an extra spell slot of the original spell's level when casting a spell on their enemies to impose Disadvantage on the save - when used on a spell that targets multiple creatures, the Hedge Mage can affect a number of targets equal to their Intelligence modifier.

Voidmancers are [[conjurer]]s who focus on studying the dark void on the edge of reality from whence [[aberration]]s hail - essentially, the "safer" margins of the [[Far Realm]] - and who learn to gain heightened mental power from doing so without going nuts in the process.

			Voidmancers start with a nameless 2nd level feature that gives them free Proficiency in Arcana, doubles their Proficiency bonus on Arcana checks relating to Aberrations, and lets them learn the spells Armor of Agathys, Arms of Hadar, and Hunger of Hadar. They also gain the 2nd level feature '''Whispers from the Void''', which can be invoked Intelligence modifier times per day to gain a +2d4 to the results of a Skill check.

			6th level gives them the feature '''Mental Discipline and Fortitude''', which lets them reroll a failed Wisdom or Charisma save once per day (2/day from 10th level, 3/day from 14th level).

			10th level gives them the '''Secrets of the Void''', which lets the Voidmancer alter the range or area of effect of a spell by +/-50% (their choice) once per day. Obviously, this doesn't work on spells with a range of Self or Touch.

			Finally, the aptly named '''Screaming into the Void''' is their 14th level subclass capstone feature; Resistance to Psychic damage and Immunity to the Stunned condition.

	The only tradition in this splatbook that's super-connected to the [[Forgotten Realms]] (albeit the [[Metamage]] debuted in an FR splatbook), this represents a wizard who practices the unique magical style/tradition passed down by the Simbul, the Witch-Queen of Aglarond and one of the [[Seven Sisters]]. The book also contains a page-long summary of the Simbul's history in the Forgotten Realms.		The only tradition in this splatbook that's super-connected to the [[Forgotten Realms]] (albeit the [[Metamage]] debuted in an FR splatbook), this represents a wizard who practices the unique magical style/tradition passed down by the Simbul, the Witch-Queen of Aglarond and one of the [[Seven Sisters]]. The book also contains a page-long summary of the Simbul's history in the Forgotten Realms.

			From 2nd level, a Simbarch (as these [[wizard]]s are called) can use '''Minor Synosdweomer''' (as a bonus action, spend 1 Hit Die and a spell slot; you regain HP equal to the Hit Dice rolled + 2 X spell slot's level) once per short rest and '''Silver Fire''' (spend a bonus action when making a spell attack roll on your turn to gain Advantage on the roll; if the spell hits, the target takes extra damage equal to your Proficiency bonus from your spell attacks for the next minute; this effect ends if you are incapacitated, the target is killed, or you use this feature on a new target) a number of times per day equal to their Intelligence modifier.

			From 6th level, Simbarches can craft a '''Spell Matrix''' by performing an hour-long ritual that requires an arcane focus and a diamond worth 300 gold pieces (which is consumed). The ritual transmutes the arcane focus into a "Matrix Focus", which has its all its old powers, plus some new ones: the simbarch can now perform a 10 minute ritual requiring the matrix focus to choose spells equal to or less than their proficiency bonus with a casting time of 1 action; by expending Hit Dice equal to the number of spells chosen, the chosen spells are imbued into the matrix focus. So long as the simbarch has the matrix focus to hand, they can expend 1 Hit Dice as a bonus action to cast one of the spells contained within the matrix. Spells remain bound up in the matrix focus until either the simbarch changes them out with a new attunement ritual, or they take a long rest, but the matrix focus remains permanently empowered.

			10th level brings with it the power of the '''Major Synosdweomer''', which can be invoked a number of times per day equal to the Simbarch's Intelligence modifier. This can be done as a bonus action when the simbarch uses their Action to cast a spell; the simbarch can then touch a creature and heal it (spell level)d4 hit points.

			Finally, at 14th level, the simbarch learns how to transform into a '''Spellfire Tempest''' once per short rest. When this is done, the Simbarch gains Fly (40 feet) until the end of its next turn, is healed of one effect that could be cured by Greater Restoration, and if they inflict damage with a spell before the end of their next turn, the simbarch can reroll damage dice equal to their Intelligence modifier.
