Spellcasting[edit]
You learned to shape reality, and manipulate the flow of magic through your eyes. Your Spells are part of the knowledge you saw and managed to engrave in your mind.
Cantrips[edit]
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn additional wizard cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Eyes of Magnus table.
Spell Slots[edit]
The Eyes of Magnus table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher[edit]
You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the wizard spell list.
You learn an additional wizard spell of your choice at each level. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the wizard spells you know and replace it with another spell from the wizard spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability[edit]
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Eyes of Magnus spells, since you learn your spells through memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Eyes of Magnus spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spellcasting Focus[edit]
You can use your own eyes as a spellcasting focus for your Eyes of Magnus spells.
