Wu Wei Master (5e Subclass)
Wu Wei Master[edit]
Cleric, Druid and Wizard subclass
In Lieh, there's a zen concept well spread called wu wei, adopted by most cultures. Wu Wei means following the natural flow of things, meaning, let yourself go and flow with the way, and the action you desire can be executed with more competence and less effort. Although the monk-philosophers were the creators of this concept, mandarins, astrologers and clerics from the most diverse religions have already recognized its truth.
however, the more wise and powerful casters the ones who really managed to apply this concept, learning how to prepare certain types of magic and combine them in a single flux. This flux is then released whenever he wants, unleashing all the magical effects contained inside it at once on the Wu Wei master. Regardless of being a divine caster that combine its spells in a single blessing, or an arcane caster that prepared and released his spells in a single matrix, all that follow this philosophy believe it to be the natural way of the universe.
This subclass is based on the mechanics introduced on the UA 79 - Strixhaven

Level 1+ Wu Wei Master Feature
You can partially prepare more two spells and store them in a focus, creating a flux. You can then use the flux to complete both spells simultaneously in a single casting. Both spells must have you as the target, and the combined level of the spells can't surpass your highest level spell slot.
When you prepare a flux, you can't do it again until you finish a short or a long rest.

You no longer needs to prepare your flux, creating a flux with the same Action used to cast the flux, and you can have up to four spells in the same flux.
- Superior Focus
Level 14+ Wu Wei Master Feature
You can split your mind in two, allowing you to focus in two spells at the same time. You can now concentrate in both Flux spells at the same time. Losing concentration causes you to lose concentration in both spells simultaneously.
