Contents
Twilit is one of several possible Schools of Research you can gain at the 2nd level of the researcher class.
Your school affects which spells you can learn as a researcher. Your school also grants features at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, 18th, and 20th levels. See Researcher#Twilit for an integrated list that combines technomancer features with those of the base researcher class.
Magic Points
At 2nd level, and every researcher level you gain after this, your magic points increase by 4.
Twilit Proficiencies
Starting from 2nd level, you can read, write, and speak the Twilight language. If you already knew this language, you can instead learn any other language of your choice.
You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice from Deception, Intimidation, Insight, and Stealth.
Low-Light Vision
The nature of twilight is that of low-light, and your magical practice has already begun to enhance your senses. Beginning at 2nd level, you treat dim light as if it was bright light. This includes darkness enhanced to dim light by a feature like darkvision.
Metamagic
At 6th level, you learn to more flexibly cast spells. You gain the Metamage feat, even if you don't met its prerequisite. If you already have this feat, you can instead gain any other feat for which you qualify.
Fading Step
Starting at 6th level, your mastery over otherworldly magic accents your movements through this world. Whenever you aren't concentrating on a spell, you hover just above the ground. While hovering, you still use your walking speed as normal, but you can choose to be unaffected by ground-based difficult terrain, friction-based hazards like slippery ice, and pressure-based traps.
Hovering doesn't prevent you from falling, but it does prevent you from taking damage and landing prone if you fall.
Fused Power
Starting from 10th level, when you overpower a researcher spell, treat your Magic Limit as being 1 point higher than it otherwise is. This feature doesn't affect what spells you are able to learn, nor any other effect depending on your Magic Limit.
From 14th level onward, you can instead overpower the spell to 2 points higher than your Magic Limit.
Spell Mastery
At 18th level, you have achieved such mastery over certain spells that you can cast them at will. When you gain this feature, you can learn up to two twilit spells of 3-points or fewer (2nd level or lower).
Choose up to two twilit spells you already know, each of which must be 3-points or fewer (2nd level or lower). You can cast these spells without expending magic points (or spell slots). Overpowering them costs extra magic points as normal. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one or both of these spells with other twilit spells you know of 3-points or fewer.
