Spellbook

At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing twelve 1st-level spells of your choice from any class. Your spellbook is the repository of the all the spells you know, except your cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.

Spellcasting

At 1st level, you immediately gain the spellcasting ability of all types of classes, because of this you can learn spells from all spell list. You also ignore the spells material requirements.

Cantrips

As a Grand Caster you have access to all Cantrips but can only know up to what your level dictates. Intelligence is your spell-casting modifier.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + Intelligence modifier

Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher

Each time you put a level in Grandcaster, you can add six spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Grandcaster table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook, in order to do so you must have either seen it or read it in another book. The time it takes to add a spell to your spellbook is based on the level it is, 30minutes per spell level however this can be done over a short or long rest based on the level of spell.

Spell Slots

The Grandcaster table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of level 1st 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.

You prepare the list of Grandcaster spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of Grandcaster spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your mage level x 3 (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you’re a 3rd-level Grandcaster, you can prepare two 1st-level and two level 2nd spell slots in any combination that you know. If you prepare the level 1st spell magic missile, you can cast it using a level 1st or level 2nd slot. In any combination from your known spells. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.

Conjuration Ritual

You can cast an Grandcaster spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual mark and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don't need to have the spell prepared.
