Malleable Illusions. when the magician casts an illusion spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, he can use his action to change the nature of that illusion (using the spell's normal parameters for the illusion), provided that you can see the illusion. Illusory Reality. When the magician casts an illusion spell of 1st level or higher, he can choose one inanimate, nonmagical object that is part of the illusion and make that object real. He can do this on his turn as a bonus action while the spell is ongoing. The object remains real for 1 minute. Spellcasting. The magician is an 14th-level spellcaster.

The dark magician expends a Spell Slot of third Level or higher. Targets within a 20 feet range of a point of the magician's choice within 150 feet must make a Constitution saving throw or take 7d6 necrotic damage (half on a success). Structures in range take double damage and anything reduced to 0 hit points by this shatters and is destroyed (living targets are immediately killed). If the spell slot used was fourth level or higher the damage is increased by 1d6 for each spell level above third used. Magical Hats. The dark magician expends a Spell Slot of fourth level or lower, a number of illusory hats equal to the spell level +1 appear, one hat contains the dark magician, and one hat contains a spell of a level equal to the spell slot level minus 1 or lower. If there are 5 hats opponents attempting to attack the dark magician must roll 1d10 if they roll a 1 or 2 they hit the dark magician and the hats are dispelled if they roll 3 or 4 they hit the hidden spell which takes place immediately targeting them and the hats are dispelled, on any other roll a hat is dispelled and the die size is reduced by 1.

The attack automatically misses him, then the illusion dissipates. |
The ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense. At one point he was the magic teacher for the ruler of a desert kingdom before dying in a futile bid to destroy a powerful demon. His death has done little to stop his continued support for his liege's lineage and his own practice in teaching new apprentices magic. |
