There is a variety of mana types a mage can use, with some being beneficial while others being dangerous.
- Mana. The normal mana, also known as just Mana, is located everywhere around the world and is the mana the great majority of mages use.

Alternate Feature: Scroll[edit]
If a mage turns the age others would gain their grimoires while in the land of the Sun, they may instead gain a scroll, heavily altering how they interact with their spells.
|
The following features differ when using a scroll instead of a grimoire:
- Size. The size of a scroll and grimoire are relative in nature, both determining the amount of spells a grimoire may hold. The maximum amount of spells a scroll may hold is based on the spell point usage of each spell, with each size of scroll using the following calculation for spell point maximums:
- Emakimono. If your Charisma is 11 or lower, your scroll has a maximum amount of spell points equal to your level, additionally you may create an additional cantrip at 1st level.

- Landscape Kakemono. If your Charisma is 14 or higher, your scroll has a maximum amount of spell points equal to thrice your level.
- Every spell, excluding cantrips, counts as having 1 spell point for this feature, even if no spell points were spent in their creation.

- Spells that fall under a certain threshold do not need to be inscribed into the surface of your scroll, if a scroll has a spell point cost less than half your level you may choose to memorize its characters into your mind instead of your scroll, not consuming your scroll’s spell point maximum.
- You may have an amount of Scroll-less spells equal to half your magic power level (minimum of 1).
Feats and Boon Interactions
Due to the difference between scrolls and grimoires, certain feats interact with them differently.
- Zone caster
Instead of gaining additional pages, you gain a special spell point count for Mana Zone spells equal to ½ your normal spell point maximum.
- Potential Unleashed
When choosing the option to gain additional grimoire pages, you instead gain an increase to your scroll spell point maximum equal to twice your proficiency bonus.
- Dual Grimoire
You may be given a Scroll along with a grimoire, or vice versa, with the Scroll having the corresponding maximum spell points according to your stat level.
|
|
Also at 1st level, you were born unique, your grasp of magic and things overall is innately different. This has made you develop your own talents, each benefitting you in a unique way.
You gain a Talent you meet the prerequisites of.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you gain another Talent of your choice.
Magic Flight[edit]
At 2nd level, you got the basics of Mana control down, so you became able to fly with objects.
|
While on top of an object or vehicle that's not more than 1 category smaller than you, you can spend 1 Mana to grant that object flying speed equal to your walking speed + 5 times your proficiency bonus (no action required). You can fly on top of said object, and may keep hovering in the air.

- Magic Superiority
When there is a great difference in magic power, the pure aura exhaling from the mage reduces the potency of weaker mages’ spells.
- Magic Endurance. You reduce all non-magical damage by your Magic Power. In addition, for every Magic Power you are above a creature, you reduce the damage of their spells by half your level (rounded down) times the difference. The multiplication cannot go higher than 5, and once you reach a 10 Magic Power difference you reduce it by your full level.
- Effect Negation. If your Magic Power is 5 or more above a creature’s, even if you fail a saving throw caused by one of their spells, if you didn’t fail by 5 or more you don’t suffer any of their spell Effects. In addition, if the current conditions stated above are met you can still succeed Evasive Spells even if you can’t move out of it if you have rolled high enough.
- Spell Incapacitation. Once you reach a high enough Magic Power, certain mages cannot cast spells when near you. If you have a Magic Power of 20 or higher, creatures of your choice within your natural distance that have a Magic Power of 10 or more below your own cannot cast spells.
- Magical Bullet
Magic Power grants mages the ability to utilize a technique called Magic Bullet, which appears in its base state as a blast of mana.
As an action on your turn you may make a ranged spell attack roll against a creature within X feet of you (X = 10 + your Magic power times 5), if a creature is within 5 feet of you the attack is not at disadvantage. On a hit, they take 1dX (with X being your Magic Power Die) equal to your attribute’s damage type.
Additionally, you may modify your Magic Bullet every time you use the feature, being able to spend mana up to your spellcasting modifier + your proficiency bonus to enhance and change that casting of your magic bullet. The costs of modifications are listed below:
- Range Addition. When you cast a Magic Bullet, you may spend 1 mana to increase the range by 10 feet. You may pick this modification multiple times.
- Area Modification. When you cast a Magic Bullet, you may spend 3 mana to cause the bullet to mutate into a less direct force. The Magic Bullet turns into a 10 foot wide line that shares the range of the normal bullet or at a point within the Magic Bullet’s range it explodes into an X foot radius, forcing all creatures within that area to make a saving throw that relates to the projection of your attribute. This Modification cannot be put on a Magic Bullet that already has the Multi Targeting modification.
- Damage Enhancement. When you cast Magic Bullet you may choose to add an additional die to the attack for 2 mana. You may pick this an enhancement a number of times equal to half your level.
- Multi Targeting. When you cast Magic Bullet you may choose to add an additional target within range to the attack for 1 mana. You may choose this modification a number of times equal to your spellcasting modifier. This Modification cannot be put on a Magic Bullet that already has Area Modification.
Magic Bullet when casted counts as a grimoire-less spell, gaining any benefit from features that enhance grimoire-less spells.

- Durable Mage
Starting at 2nd level, your very body has become more durable, being able to handle more damage without affecting your spells. You have advantage on concentration checks to maintain a spell.
In addition, whenever you are forced to make a concentration check to maintain a spell, you reduce the DC by your Innate Mage level (to a minimum of 10).
- Arcane Defense
Also at 2nd level, when surrounded by magic, you can boost your defenses beyond the limit for a moment. Whenever you would take damage while benefiting from a Armor or Spell Creation (Black Clover Supplement)#Reinforcement spell, you can spend a reaction to halve the damage.

In the case your Magic Power is 5 or more above the caster, the spell’s mana cost is halved instead (unless it would make it cost more).

Additionally, whenever you cast a spell you may choose to give it the Siege Spell special effect for no mana or spell point cost.
- Critical Spell
At 5th level, you’ve become very precise with your spells, knowing what spots shall hurt the most. You score a critical hit with spells on a 19-20.
- Aggressive

- Fierce Attacker
At 14th level, you are relentless when it comes to your spells, never letting your opponent rest. Whenever you cast a spell with one or more spell attack rolls, you can choose to make one additional spell attack roll with said spell. This additional attack roll does not benefit from any of these subclasse’s features.
Additionally, when you force more than one creature to make a saving throw to avoid taking damage, they receive a -2 penalty on the roll if they are suffering from a condition.
- Final Spell
At 17th level, offense is your life, and you’d put everything into a spell just to destroy everything. When you cast a damaging spell, you may choose to grant it up to two of the following:
