Spellfused (5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Spellfused
"The Spellfused are people who have a piece of their soul fused to the essence of magic itself. Although it may sound grandiose at first, it is much more of a practical daily life thing for most spellfused than anything more. You see, the spellfused do not need to learn magic, nor are they limited in the number of spells they can cast per day. Although few ever reach heights of power great enough to be dangerous, many live simple daily lives using their small innate magic gift when useful. Since no study or training is required to develop this gift, most of them come from the uneducated classes." Muad'Ali Hazama, Retired Adventurer, Scholar of the City of Brass.
Fused Magic
The Spellfused are a strange phenomenon. Such a peculiar happening that high wizards and arcane scholars from all over the world and throughout history have researched and studied this phenomenon. Although many theories were established, none actually came to a conclusion of how or why this phenomenon manifested. Some claimed that the individual's soul directly granted them the knowledge and ability to cast the spells, others went so far as to say it was a by-product of remnant memories of the soul's past lives. Whatever the case, the Spellfused are unique in the way they cast spells and use magic.
Creating a Spellfused

What level of ambition do you have in life in general?

Fighting Style
Starting 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
- Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Archetype

Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Fused Spells
As you grow, spells come to you. You always have them available for you to cast. You do not need spell slots to cast them. You do not need any somatic or material components to cast them. You may cast these spells any number of times per day. Casting time depends on the chosen spell. All spells are available for you to choose from except spells that provide healing or restore hit points in any way. Whenever you reach a level where you can choose a new spell to fuse with, you must do so. You cannot change these fused spells later.
- 1st level Spells
You choose a 1st level spell at 5th and 13th levels.
- 2nd level Spells
You choose a spell of 2nd level or lower at 11th and 15th levels.
- 3rd level Spells
You choose a spell of 3rd level or lower at 17th level.
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these Fused Spells. The power of your spells somehow comes directly from your soul. You use your Wisdom whenever a Fused Spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Spellfused spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
The chosen spells must require an action to cast, with an instantaneous duration and that not require any material components with cost in gp.
Starting at 11th level, if you choose a spell of a level lower than the highest level you can cast, you can choose a spell that requires an action or a bonus action to cast, and with any duration.
If there are multiple ways to cast a spell, such as Enhance Ability, only one version of that spell can be chosen. With Enhance Ability as an example, you would need to also choose which Ability it affects, Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, etc. You would be able to cast Enhance Ability as a fused spell only for that specific Ability.
Bindings of the Future
At 6th level, you become proficient in an saving throw of your choosing.
Synergy
Starting 7th level, whenever you cast a spell or a cantrip as an action on your turn, you may make a single weapon attack as a bonus action.

You may do this again at 14th and 18th levels.

Starting level 14, you can push your Soulforce out of your body in a powerful wave.
Once per long rest as an Action, you may spend X Soulforce points up to a maximum of your proficiency bonus to deal Xd12 Force damage to every enemy creature within X*10ft of you. The points used this way may go beyond your current Soulforce reserves. For every point you spend that you do not have, you gain one level of exhaustion.
For example, with a proficiency bonus of 6, and having already spent 3 Soulforce, you have 3 Soulforce left. On your turn, you use your action to activate your Soulforce Wave and decide to activate it at full power with 6 Soulforce. Enemies within 60ft of you take 6d12 Force damage and you immediately gain 3 levels of exhaustion.

Starting level 9, as an action, you can sacrifice any number of Fused Spells to temporarily gain a single more powerful spell. Until the end of your next turn, you gain a spell of your choosing of a level equal to the combined levels of the sacrificed Fused Spells minus one. That spell counts as a Fused Spell for you for that duration. Sacrificed Fused Spells are unavailable for you to cast until the end of your next turn. Once used, you cannot use this ability again until you finish a long or short rest.
For example, as a level 15 Spellfused, you have two level2 Fused Spells and two level1 Fused Spells. As a Broken Soul Archetype, you can choose to sacrifice all of your Fused spells to temporarily gain a 5th level Fused Spell until the end of your next turn.
Note : Be very careful with this ability as it may give you short term great power, but should you be further challenged before you can regain use of your fused spells, you will be sorely disadvantaged. Remember that although Fused spells need no Components or spell slots, they still use your actions to cast.
