Magic Meter
At 1st level, you gain a number of magic points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 0). If your Charisma later increases, so too does your number of magic points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 2 more magic points.
Your magic points are expended primarily in spellcasting. Normally any magic points you've expended are fully replenished when you finish a long rest. Some features and magic items can otherwise restore magic points.
Spellcasting
| Some players may prefer traditional spell slot levels over Hyrulean magic points. If this is the case for you, the following adjustments. Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter or Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast scion spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the ranger and paladin classes do (see SRD or PHB). 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. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell death and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast death using either slot. Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher (replaces Powered Spells Known). You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter. You can begin to learn 2nd-level spells when you reach 5th level, learn 3rd-level spells when you reach 9th level, learn 4th-level spells when you reach 13th level, and 5th-level spells when you reach 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. |
As an inheritor of supernatural power, you inherently know how to cast a small array of spells. Casting these spells is a talent that feels instinctive to you and grows stronger with practice.
Magic Limit
To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points as determined by the spell.
You can cast a spell up to but not exceeding your "magic limit." Your magic limit defines the most many magic points you can expend when you cast a spell. Your magic limit is initially 2. This limit increases gradually with your level, as detailed in the Scion Table.
If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, your magic limit may be different, as described under multiclassing.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, as the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.
Cantrips
You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.
Powered Spells Known
At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Scion Table.
Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.
If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.
Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your progenitor's spell list. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.
You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.
Overpowering a Spell
You can cast a powered spell with more magic points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend magic points in excess of your Magic Limit.
For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.
