Arcane Wild Magic

APPL Cost: 4 Prerequisites: Arcane Spark Rankable: No

Wild magic can be taken by a character with an arcane spark and innate casting type. It also can only be taken at first level. It’s something you are born with and cannot learn later in the short life you have. A benefit of taking this is that you can choose whichever mana progression you want and don’t have to spend APPL to take it and half cost to rank it up, (the slow tree is free). The 1 rank per level still applies. Being that you are born with wild magic, it levels as you level your mana progression, rather than requiring ranks placed into it also. There are 3 stages to wild magic, if you survive the first stage, based on your max spell level.

Stage 1: Mana points less than 60. During the first stage of your wild magic gift/ curse you can’t control the magic flowing around you. The amount of mana you have is half what the mana progression says for your level. Each spell you do cast only has a 10% chance of being cast as you intended it to be. The following table has the risks of casting spells with wild magic stage 1 (DM rolls this check):

D100	Result
1-10	Spell Cast As Intended
11-15	Correct Spell Cast, but surged 4 levels stronger
16-20	Correct Spell Cast, but caster level 1 power behind it.
21-30	Nothing happens, spell is lost
31-100	Random Surge From Surge Table

Stage 2: Mana points 61 to 100. By Stage 2, you have grasped some idea of how the magic works around you. The number of spells per day is now the full count for your mana progression level. You also have a better chance of casting the spell you wanted to cast in the way you wanted to cast it. The following table has the risks of casting spells with wild magic stage 2 (player rolls d6, even player rolls for this table, odd, DM rolls):

D100	Result
1-20	Spell Cast As Intended
21-35	Correct Spell Cast, but surged 4 levels stronger
36-45	Correct Spell Cast, but caster level 1 power behind it.
46-55	Nothing happens, spell is lost
56-100	Random Surge From Surge Table

Stage 3: Mana points 101 or more. You have gained enough understanding of the wild magic surging around you that you can actually pick your own result from the surge table if you want too, occasionally. The following table has the risks of casting spells with wild magic stage 3 (Player rolls on this table):

D100	Result
1-54	Spell Cast As Intended
55-64	Correct Spell Cast, but surged 4 levels stronger
65-67	Correct Spell Cast, but caster level 1 power behind it.
68-70	Nothing happens, spell is lost
71-90	Pick A Surge From Surge Table
91-100	Random Surge From Surge Table
