Spellfused (5e Class)

Spellfused

"The Spellfused are people who have a piece of their soul fused to the essence of magic itself. Although it may sound grandiose at first, it is much more of a practical daily life thing for most spellfused than anything more. You see, the spellfused do not need to learn magic, nor are they limited in the number of spells they can cast per day. Although few ever reach heights of power great enough to be dangerous, many live simple daily lives using their small innate magic gift when useful. Since no study or training is required to develop this gift, most of them come from the uneducated classes." Muad'Ali Hazama, Retired Adventurer, Scholar of the City of Brass.

Fused Magic

The Spellfused are a strange phenomenon. Such a peculiar happening that high wizards and arcane scholars from all over the world and throughout history have researched and studied this phenomenon. Although many theories were established, none actually came to a conclusion of how or why this phenomenon manifested. Some claimed that the individual's soul directly granted them the knowledge and ability to cast the spells, others went so far as to say it was a by-product of remnant memories of the soul's past lives. Whatever the case, the Spellfused are unique in the way they cast spells and use magic.

Binding Dice

Your binding dice represents the power of the spells bound to you. Whenever a spell requires you to roll a dice, you roll the amount of dice indicated by the Binding Dice column on the class table, regardless of the amount of dice you would normally roll.

Material Components

If the bound spell require material components, you can ignore those, unless they have a cost in gold. If the material has a cost in gold, you must have the material on you as part of the casting process. If the spell consumes a material with a gold cost, you must offer that material.
