Spells & Magic in Greywick

Magic in Greywick runs on spell slots and eight schools. Your class decides how deep a caster you are; a caster may specialize in one school to strike harder with it. Rest to recover spent slots.

Casters and spell slots

Classes fall into four groups:

• Full casters — Wizard, Cleric, Bard, Druid, Sorcerer. The deepest spell progression.
• Half casters — Ranger and Paladin. Fewer, lower-level slots, backing a martial core.
• Pact caster — Warlock. A handful of slots that all recharge on a rest and always cast at their highest level.
• Martials — Fighter, Rogue, Barbarian, Monk. No slots; they spend limited-use signature moves instead.

The eight schools of magic

Casters may choose a favoured school — spells of that school deal +1 damage and are +1 harder to resist. Below is each school and the spells that belong to it across all classes and their subclass paths.

Abjuration

Wards, shields, and the turning-aside of harm.

• Shield (Wizard, level 1) — A flash of force turns a blow aside — fight warded for a moment.
• Arcane Ward (Wizard, level 2) — A lattice of force settles over you, and for a while the blows that should land simply do not.

• Field Dressing (Ranger, level 1) — A field dressing of pressed leaves and clean cloth — it knits a wound closed over the next little while. Mends the most hurt of you or your wolf.
