At first level, a crystalmancer has in their spellbook all 0th level spells from
Core Rulebook 1 plus Detect Gems and Crystals, as well as three 1st levels spells. For
C each bonus modifier point of Intelligence, the crystalmancer's spellbook can hold an
additional spell. Half of the first level spells, rounded down, must come from the crys-
R
talmancer spells in this book. For example, a 1st level crystalmancer with an Intelligence
of 16 would have six first level spells, and three of which must be crystalmancy spells.
Each time the crystalmancer gains a level, the crystalmancer gains two new spells that
Y can be cast. These new spells can be of any level, according to the new level gained. The
crystalmancer can also learn spells found in other spellbooks, which can be a wizards or
S crystalmancers (exactly how a wizard does, as per Core Rulebook 1). Likewise, wizards
can learn spells found from a crystalmancer's spellbook.
T Bonus Languages: A crystalmancer may choose crystil instead of one of their nor-
mal bonus languages. Crystil is the native tongue of the intelligent inhabitants of the
A crystalline realm, such as the Berylis. Crystalmancer may also take draconic as a bonus
language, since many ancient books and text were written in the language of the large
L
reptilian creatures.
Familiar: A crystalmancer can obtain a familiar in exactly the same manner as the
M wizard and sorcerer does.
A Spellcrystal: The crystalmancer gains the ability to imbue a crystal or gem with a
spell instead of scribing a scroll as a wizard does.
N Spellbooks: Crystalmancers must study their spellbooks each day in order to prepare
their spells. They cannot prepare any spell that is not scribed in their spellbooks. The
C crystalmancer begins play with a spellbook that already contains eight 0th level spells,
one of which is Detect Gems and Crystals, plus a number of 1st level spells equal to the
E
crystalmancer's Intelligence bonus plus 3. The 1st level spells chosen are up to the play-
er. Each time the crystalmancer gains a level in the class, they gain two new spells of
any level or levels that the player can cast. Also, the crystalmancer can add spells found
R in spellbooks of other wizards and crystalmancers.
Spell Mastery: The crystalmancer, like a wizard, can take the Spell Mastery feat.
