Myth of Lytheria: the Ancient City Powered by Stone[edit]
- Lytheria
Long ago, in the days before your great, great, great grandparents was a small wonderous hovering city-nation called Lytheria. I am sure that you have heard of great ancient cities that are able to fly to new lands. Lytheria is not like those cities. This "flying" city hovers only a few feet away from the ocean water. Its magic is far too weak to magic the entire city above the stormy waters, much less a gentle green hill on land. Lytheria is not much different than a large hovering boat. It constantly floats from one port to another, trading wonderous items. Lytheria was a wonderous city full of wonderful artificers and magic users. They store magic in stones, pearls, and crystals. It is only natural for them to be experts in golem creation.
This story is not about the city of Lytheria or its wonderous golems. It is about a young wizard who's name is lost to history and her crystal that single handed ended her own civilization.
- Nameless wizard
A young soon-to-be wizard sighs as she stares out of the window. She lazily watch stone golems collecting trash. She has been stuck on trying to understand this "useless" colorless crystal. Her "outgoing" and "adventurous" father has sent her another useless stone as a gift from his travels. He claims that the crystal holds "great" power that will "change" everything. Like all of the other useless stone that he has sent, wizard's father claims that she is the only one that can unlock its "power".
It was late night, a night which most people of her age would be out to party with friends. Not her. She is stuck at home with a useless crystal to keep her company. The future wizard is studying for the final test. Her grades was bad and getting a good grade on this test will, barely, make her succeed the class. She has trouble at memorizing complex spells and remember important facts for the upcoming test.
The stressed student jolts up in her seat and a loud clang as a crystal falls onto the desk. The morning sunlight steams through the wind. The groggy human moans in pain. Her head hurts from long periods of studying, stay up late, and accidently using the hard crystal as a pillow. Her eyes widen as she sees the time. She is almost late for school. She quickly tosses all of her study material in the backpack and rushes out of the door.
- School
The tired and hurried student rushed to her first class. The bell rings as she sits down at her usual seat. Its test time. It is time to put all the studying to the test. As the teacher places the final test papers in front of the almost late student, the student stares at her test blankly. She cannot remember most of the material of test. The panicked student try to recall any moment that she has study for the test. Nothing. It is like someone purposely and magically removed her memories. How can she pass this important test? In her panic, she unconsciously reached into her pocket. The troubled person's finger unexpectedly hits a cold, hard object. The crystal that her father gift to her. The surprised spell caster thought that she left it at home. At her touch, the crystal warms up and memories flood into the victim's head. She recall perfectly of the times that she has studied. The will be wizard smiles. This final test will be a breeze. This useless crystal is not so useless.
- Mass Production
Many years has past. The student used her crystal to store her memories into it. At anytime, she can fetch With this feature, she quickly learned all types of magic and learn a few non-magical abilities. With years under her belt, she sets out to reproduce the "memory" crystal. With the funding from the government and the brightest minds, they discover on how to create new "memory" crystals. It is said that the process of creating new crystals was so horrifying, that our familiar fully trained wizard killed herself. No matter how cruel the creation process is, the government mass produced this crystals for the general public. Soon everyone in Lytheria has one.
- Fall of Lytheria
An unknown time has pasted since the mass production of the "memory" crystals and the death of the discover of these crystals. One day, a small port town was visited by the floating town of Lytheria. Unlike the previous times, the city was quiet, almost like a ghost town. The villagers called out to the city but no sound comes from the city. The villagers climb aboard on the hovering island. Everything was a mess. It seemed that their was a mass riot at some point. On the ground their was dead bodies but not a single drop of blood or signs of wounds. Strange small crystals grow on the dead body, clustered of the head and spine. Later, medics discover that the bodies die, not by the crystal growth, but from lack of food, water, or air. It almost as if they forgot how to take care of themselves. Blinded by greed, the villagers looted Lytheria. Seeing that the crystal made great jewelry, they dissected the body and crafted the crystals in jewelry.
- Present
It is said that Lytheria's crystals can be found in any old jewelry. You never know if your old heirloom or jewelry store contains the lost Lytheria crystals. The crystals are dormant and impossible to tell if they are the real deal. Until that special someone touches one and makes that special connection. There is rumors that old caves containing natural Lytheria crystals, the location where that poor wizard's father first discover these dangerous crystals.
Jack-of-all-classes[edit]
Each class is specialized in something. Wizards are masters of magic. Rogue are masters of skills. Monks are masters of unarmed fighting. Paladins are masters of smiting. What happens if there was a way to change your own class at will? There is a mythical magical item that makes this dream come true. A Crystal has the ability to hold knowledge of any class. With this priceless artifact, a normal person can experience any class that they can imagine.

- Cantrips (0-Level Spells)
At 1st level, you know one cantrips of your choice from any spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional cantrips from any spell list, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Jack-of-all-classes table.
When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the cantrips you know with another cantrip from any spell list.
- Spellbook
At the 1st level, you have a Spellbook containing two 1st level spell from any spell list and all the spells you learned from Novice spellcaster. Your spellbook is the repository of all the Spells you know, including your Cantrips.
All spells in your spellbook cannot be copied in any way.
- Learning New Spells
Each time you level up in Jack-of-all-classes, you write down two new spells from any spell list of your choice. 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.
- Casting Spells
The Jack-of-all-classes 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.
- Ritual Casting
You can cast a Jack-of-all-classes spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have prepared the spell from your spellbook.
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use Lytheria's crystal as a Spellcasting Focus for your Jack-of-all-class' spells.
You can embed your crystal into a weapon or shield and it still preforms as a Spellcasting Focus. Jewelry containing Lytheria's crystal can serve as your Spellcasting Focus. The only requirement for these two option is that the crystal is exposed and touching your skin.

You are able to cast any spells gained Novice Spellcaster and from any other multiclass' spells.
Novice Spellcaster[edit]
At 1st level, your connection with your crystal gives you a little magical ability. You learn any one wizard cantrip and any one 1st level wizard spell of your choice.
- Spellcasting
Unlike your other spells, you use your intelligence for your Spellcasting Ability when you cast spells from Novice Spellcaster. 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 Novice Spellcaster 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

In most cases, you do remember the subject and very broad details of the stored memory.
As an action, you can move the memories from the crystal and return it back into your head. You can recall those stored memories as clear as the day you originally stored them.
Class Mimicry[edit]
At the 1st level, you learn a way to store memories of classes inside the crystal. Choose one of the class mimicries options below. As you gain levels in this class, you can have more class mimicries, as seen in the Jack-of-all-trades table under the Class Mimicry column.

Class Mimicry Table Key[edit]
- Proficiency Gain
When you are in this class mimicry, you gain those proficiencies. If you already have those proficiency, then nothing happens.
- Primary Ability Score
It represents what ability score modifier could be improved. If your primary ability score modifier is lower than your Intelligence modifier / 2 (rounded up), you can replace your primary ability score modifier with Intelligence modifier /2 (rounded up). This does not effect your ability score.
- Subclass
It determines which subclass that class mimicry will utilize.
- Mimicry Toughness
You gain Jack-of-all-classes levels worth of temporary hit points when you are in one of the class mimicries that have the mimicry toughness. This number of temporary hit points is shared across all class mimicries that have the mimicry toughness. You only restore these temporary hit points after long rest.
- Spellcaster and Spell List
Spellcaster influences if the class mimicry limits your spellcasting and what spell you can cast.
- None
Your spellcasting is almost non-existing. You can only cast cantrip that you learn from Novice spellcaster. You cannot cast any other cantrips or spells
- Half
You can not use spell slots that are more than the Jack-of-all-classes level divided by 4 (rounded up). You unlock the ability cast spells from this class's spell list. You still are able to cast cantrip and spell that you learn from Novice spellcaster.
Your new spellcasting ability is the primary ability score modifier. Spells in Novice Spellcaster still uses intelligence as the spellcasting modifier.
Spell save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your primary ability score modifier
Spell Attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your primary ability score modifier
- Full

Class Mimicry Features[edit]
At 1st level, class mimicries don't just grant proficiencies and spellcasting, it provides features from the original class. While in class mimicry, you gain all features of a 1st level in the original class. Your subclass for your class mimicry's feature can be found in the class mimicry table in class mimicry. Any feature that relies on the current class level, like rage or wild shape, treats mimicry level as levels of that class.
Whenever you gain jack-of-all-trades levels, your mimicry level may increase. When this happens, you gain all features of that new mimicry level in the original class except for ability score improvement, spellcasting, and pact magic.
- Replacing Class Mimicry
After a long rest, you can replace one of your class mimicry with another class mimicry of your choice. If that Class Mimicry is a spellcaster, you may remove any number of spell in it's spell list from your spellbook. For each spell removed this way, you write a new spell from any spell list into your spellbook.
- Set in Stone
When you learn a new feature from a class mimicry that has permeant multiple choices to pick from (like fighting style from fighter class), you are stuck with that feature as long you know that class mimicry. Using Mimicry Switch to make that class inactive then active does not change your choice on that feature. The only way to change your choice is to forget that class mimicry by replacing it, and then learn the class mimicry again in the future.
Additional Class Mimicry Features[edit]
Some class mimicries have additional features to properly work.
- Novice Infusions
Granted to artificer class mimicry
Unlike the proper artificer counterpart, your infusions don't last as long. All of your infusions with the exception of homunculus servant and replicate magic item expire after long rest.
With the power of the crystal, if you end long rest as artificer class mimicry, all of your infusions are automatically refreshed. The first time you switch into artificer class mimicry after a long rest will automatically recreate all non-active infusions.
Unlike other class features, Artificer's infusions don't expire or disappear after switching out of Artificer Mimicry.
As you are still new to this, you make one less artificer infusions than normally.
- Dark Magic
Granted to warlock class mimicry
As an action, you expend 3 spell slots of any level to create 1 dark magic spell slot. The dark magic spell slot's level is equal to the lowest spell slot level (max 5) used to create this. Unlike normal spell slots, dark magic spell slots are restored after short rest. Dark magic spell slot only disappears after long rest or after 24 hours.
Unlike most abilities, dark magic spell slots are usable by all class mimicry. The usual spell slot level limitations still apply to dark magic spell slots. Only the creation of dark magic spell slots is limited to warlock class mimicry.
- Nature's Curse
Granted to druid class mimicry
Whenever you are in druid mimicry, any metal armor that you are wearing magically unequip from you. This has no effect on metal shields and weapons.

At the 2nd level, you learn to store memories of Class Mimicry into your crystal After short or long rest, you can switch your current, active class mimicry to a different inactive class mimicry that you have prepared. You lose all features and abilities from your old active class mimicry. During the switch, you automatically dispel and remove ongoing abilities or spells created by you, like rage and santurary. Spells casted by Novice Spellcaster is unaffected by this. You gain all features of your new mode.
When you switch back to a class mimicry that you have used, expended resources (like Mimicry Toughness and bardic inspiration) do not get restored. When you switch back, previously activated effects like bardic inspiration and santurary does not resume.
All class mimicries can benefit from short or long rest, regardless of whether it is your active or inactive class mimicry. Only the active class can use short or long rest based features, like the song of rest and arcane recovery.

Specialty Focus[edit]
Each class has its specialty that scales with its level. Why should it not apply to you?
- Class Specialty
At the 3rd level, you are good at self-improvement. Any features in Mimicry Class that rely on the current class level, like rage or wild shape, treat jack-of-all-classes (instead of mimicry level) as levels of that class.

You can use this feature once per short or long rest.

At the 9th level, you can use your mind to fuel your limited resources. In your Mimicry Class, any features that limits resources depending on ability score, like bardic inspiration, use your intelligence ability score instead.

- Global Feature
At the 18th level, you learn how to keep some memories of previous mimicry classes. Choose a feature with limited uses. You can use this feature regardless of what mimicry class you are currently in.

At the 14th level, the time of countless hours finally bears fruit. Mimicry level is increased by 1.
At the 18th level, the mimicry level once again is increased by 1.

Every class has subclasses that make them stand out. Nothing is stopping your mimicry classes from also having their own subclasses. It is harder to achieve, but you are no quitter.
- Subclass Specialty
At the 3rd level, you take your first step to branch out to new possibilities. Whenever you learn a new Mimicry Class, you decide what subclass that mimicry class will have.
After long rest, you can replace any Mimicry Class's subclass.
