Source Of Power[edit]
At first level, you must select a subclass called your "Source Of Power." This will not only determine your spellcasting modifier, but will also grant you feature at 1st level, followed by another at 3rd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level.
Spellcasting[edit]
As a Mobian Caster, you have access of some kind to a variety of spells.
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three Cantrips of your choice from the spell list determined by your source of power. You learn additional Cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Mobian Caster table.
- Preparing and Casting Spells
The Mobian 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.
You prepare the list of Mobian Caster Spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of Spells from a spell list determined by your source of power. The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots. For example, if you're a 3rd-level Mobian Caster with the Psychic Mind Subclass, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd level Spell Slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared Spells can include six Spells of 1st or 2nd Level, in any combination, chosen from the wizard spell list. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Magic Missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. 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. Preparing a new list of Spells from the spell list determined by your source of power, requires time spent focusing your power and meditating, you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per Spell Level for each spell on your list.

The Spell Slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your Mobian Caster level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.
For example, if you’re a 4th-level Mobian Caster, you can recover up to two levels worth of Spell Slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level Spell Slots.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
