Unlettered Arcanist

ome arcanists store their spells as whispered secrets within familiars instead of on paper.

The unlettered arcanist is an archetype of the arcanist class.

Familiar

An unlettered arcanist does not keep a spellbook. Instead, they gain a familiar in which they store their spells as a witch does, though they do not gain a witch’s patron. Treat their arcanist level as their witch level for determining the abilities and benefits granted by the familiar. Anything that would allow an unlettered arcanist to add spells to their spellbook allows them to add spells to their familiar instead.

This ability replaces spellbooks.

Witch Spells

An unlettered arcanist follows a different arcane tradition. They use the witch spell list instead of the wizard/sorcerer spell list.

This ability alters the spells class feature.
