Conduit

With the flick of her wrist, orange luminous lines shoot forth from a human’s palm, arcing around her allies in the same movement as her wrist and striking her foes. Swiftly, she then thrusts a helix of orange towards the enemy in front of her.

Thirty feet away, a half-elf man wielding dual scimitars, each glowing blue, slashes a cold feeling across his enemies. Magic sparks are emitted with each of his strikes.

Completing the triangle is another human lady, eyes glowing gold. Nothing passes her impenetrable wards, and those whose souls are lost in the crossfire will be saved.

We are untouchable. We are conduits.

Avatars of the Arcane

A conduit is someone whose connection to magic is not that of a type of magic school, or coming from a deity. Magical energy can be found anywhere. You must learn to connect your own energy to the energy of the universe to demonstrate it in a noticeable fashion. To you, magic is an art form, and a lifestyle. For some, it is their very way of living.

The Aether

The ether (or aether) is an energy which comes from the Ethereal Plane. The ether allows you to harness the most basic arcane magic, and move from there. However, your magic is, for the most part, energy. By conducting magic through ether, you are limited from illusory magic, prayers, etc. The ether is related to electromagnetics, but in your case, you can harness that energy for your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs.

Creating a Conduit

You may work with your DM on how you became a conduit. Maybe you have a unique connection to magic, or a unique ancestry allowing for this connection to magic. Maybe you are pantheistic, or perhaps you had a mentor who taught you about the ether. You may even have all of these traits. Maybe you were destined to play your part in the story of everything and nothing.

Equipment

See page 12 for starting equipment.

Aether Magic

As a conduit of ethereal energy, you can cast conduit spells. See Chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and pages 7-8 for the conduit spell list.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the conduit spell list. You learn additional conduit cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Conduit table. Certain class features may also grant you additional cantrips.

Ether Points

The Conduit table shows how many ether points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these conduit spells, you must expend a number of ether points equal to the spell's level. The Max Spell Level column in the Conduit table shows how many ether points you can combine per casting of a spell. You regain all expended ether points when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands and you want to cast it as a 2nd-level spell, you must spend 2 ether points.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the conduit spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Conduit table shows when you learn more conduit spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the conduit spells you know and replace it with another spell from the conduit spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your conduit spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world, as well as on your ability to connect your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self to the ethereal plane. You may call this the Medicine Wheel. 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 conduit spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a crystal of any specified colour (found in chapter 5 of the PHB) as a spellcasting focus for your conduit spells.

CONDUIT

Augmentations

Starting at 1st level, you may choose from a list of augmentations to augment your spells and abilities. See pages 5-6 for the list of augmentations.

You gain another augmentation at 5th level, and again at 9th, 14th, and 18th levels.

Arcane Wheel

At 2nd level, your connection to the aether has allowed you to augment your abilities. You may choose one skill from among the physical (Acrobatics, Athletics), mental (Investigation, Perception), emotional (Insight, Performance), or spiritual (Religion) domains, or simply the ethereal energy (Arcana). You gain proficiency in that skill, or double proficiency if you are already proficient in it.

You may alternatively choose two skills from the list and add 1/2 of your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to those skills, whether you have proficiency or not. This feature does not stack with Expertise or any other effect that provides double proficiency.

Conduit Variety

Conduits are a versatile bunch, but each is a variety of a specialized skillset. When you reach 3rd level, choose one among the Oracle, Spellslinger, or Sword Dancer varieties. You gain archetype features at 3rd, 6th, 11th, 17th, and 20th levels. See pages 4-5 for descriptions and the list of features for each variety.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Mental Self

At 10th level, you develop the ability to augment your mental resistance and capabilities when you need them the most. You can add half of your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to Intelligence saving throws if you are not already proficient in them.

Recover Ether

Additionally at 10th level, when you finish a short rest and you have less than 4 ether points left, you regain ether points until you have 4 ether points.

Emotional Self

At 13th level, you develop the ability to augment your wisdom and resistance to magical effects when you need them the most. You can add half of your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to Wisdom saving throws if you are not already proficient in them.

Spiritual Self

At 15th level, you develop the ability to augment your constitution when you need it the most, and by completing the medicine wheel, you also develop a healthy spirit, providing you with a stronger immune system and better physiological health. You can add half of your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to Constitution saving throws if you are not already proficient in them.

CONDUIT

Conduit Varieties

Oracle

A conduit of the gods. Oracles act as beneficiaries of divine power. Rather than relying on a god for their magic, they rely on the aether.

Disciple of Life

Starting at 3rd level, your healing spells are more effective. Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level.

Channel Aether: Preserve Life

At 6th level, you can channel the aetherial energy of the multiverse to heal the badly injured.

As an action, you spend 1 ether point to generate healing energy that can restore hit points equal to three times your conduit level. Choose any number of creatures within 30 feet of you, and divide those hit points among them. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point maximum. You can't use this feature on an undead or a construct.

You can use this feature once, and you regain your use after finishing a short or long rest.

Blessed Healer

At 11th level, the healing spells you cast on others heal you as well. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points equal to a creature other than you, you regain hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level.

Charge Divinity

At 17th level, you can channel the aetherial energy of the multiverse to charge your healing spells with divine power. When you cast a healing spell of 1st level or higher, you may spend 1 ether point to use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you restore 12.

Augment Fate

When you reach 20th level, as an action, you can spend 1 ether point to bless a target creature or a group of creatures (up to a maximum of eight) that you can see within 60 feet of you.

Once within the next 8 hours, a blessed creature can use your blessing to reroll a failed ability check, saving throw, attack roll, or death saving throw. Once a creature uses the blessing, it is gone for the group until another is placed.

Spellslinger

Spellslingers are practiced individuals. They have developed a skill for combat with their magic, shooting puffs of magic for the long run, or getting ready for a supernova.

Additional Augmentations

When you choose this variety at 3rd level, you gain one additional augmentation feature of your choice.

At 11th level, and again at 17th level, you gain one additional augmentation feature of your choice.

Potent Spellcasting

At 6th level, you become more proficient with your basic spells in combat. You can add your Charisma modifier to the damage you deal on a hit with any conduit cantrip.

Spell Critical

Sword dancers have an art for magic and weaponry. Skilled in the martial arts, these conduits are always ready for close-quarters combat.

Additional Augmentation

Additionally at 3rd level, you gain an additional augmentation feature of your choice.

Sword and Ward

At 6th level, when you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action. This weapon must be light or finesse, and you must be proficient with it.

Energy Weapon Bond

When you reach 11th level, you learn a ritual that creates a magical bond between yourself and one energy weapon. You can perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and forge the bond. To complete this bond, you must use a crystal of any type and colour to place inside a hilt of your choice.

Once you have bonded the crystal, the hilt, and yourself to each other, you can wield the hilt and, as a bonus action, activate/deactivate the weapon. The weapon may be a dagger, quarterstaff, scimitar, or shortsword, and it glows the colour of the crystal inside the hilt. The damage type of this weapon depends on the colour of the crystal. For cool-coloured crystals, it is cold. For warm-coloured crystals, it is fire. For white, light gray, brown, and clear-coloured crystals, it is thunder. For dark gray and black crystals, it is necrotic. If you have the Charged Blast augmentation feature, you have the option to change your damage type to force or lightning. The weapon still slashes, pierces, or bludges, despite it being of another type.

You can have a bond with up to two energy weapons. A bond may be broken if the weapon is broken, or you form a new bond with another weapon past your second.

Augmented Strikes

At 17th level, you may spend 1 ether point to reroll a damage die of a weapon attack you make. You can do this once per turn.

Blade Fury

At 20th level, on your turn, after making a weapon attack, casting a cantrip, or casting a transmutation spell on yourself or a weapon, you may spend 5 ether points to attack twice as a bonus action on your turn with a light or finesse melee weapon you are proficient with.

If you have the Swift Strike augmentation feature, the cost of this feature is reduced to 4 ether points.

Augmentations

If an augmentation has prerequisites, you must meet them to learn it. You can learn the augmentation at the same time you meet its prerquisites.

You hurl a mote of magical energy the colour of the crystal in an arc trajectory homing towards a target creature within range. You have two charges, which you may power into a single ranged spell attack or aim at other target creatures. Each charge deals 1d4 magic bludgeoning damage. Any effect or feature that grants immunity to Magic Missile also applies to this spell. 　　At 5th level, your charges' damage dice turn into d8s (2d8).

Blue/Green/Purple. Cool area, and provides resistance to fire damage.

Red/Orange/Yellow. Warm area, and provides resistance to cold damage.

White/Light Gray/Clear/Brown. Indifferent area, and provides resistance to thunder damage.

Black/Dark Gray. Cold area, and provides resistance to radiant damage.

Additionally, whenever a creature within the area is healed by a healing spell, they receive 1d4 temporary hit points. This effect can happen only once per casting of this spell. If the colour of the aura is black or dark gray, creatures within the area are instead vulnerable to necrotic damage.

For the duration, you may add +1 to any Athletics or Acrobatics check, Strength or Dexterity saving throw, or any other Strength or Dexterity check at the DM's discretion (e.g. pushing a heavy cart, or an attack roll).

You can sense the general direction of any creature within range, and you can perform a Perception check against your spell save DC to locate that creature. You may also use this check to listen to the soundwaves within a 5 foot radius in a desired spot within range. You are vulnerable to thunder damage if you do this. You additionally gain a +1 bonus to these perception checks when you close your eyes to do so. The sensory effects of this spell are received from signal waves coming from their origins, so interruptions may occur if they are in the way between you and the location you are attempting to sense. At least 1 foot of solid stone, metal and wood interrupt the reception. You may maneuver to receive these signals again. You can sense living and undead creatures, which each give off different signatures when sensed. You cannot sense the dead or constructs unless there is some kind of justifiable life force associated with these creatures. Sound does not discriminate between creatures, however.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th or 6th level, the bonus to attack rolls increases to +2 and extra damage increases to 1d4 + 1. When you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the bonus to attack rolls increases to +3 and the extra damage increases to 1d4 + 2.

However, in order to identify whose emotions, moods, or alignments are whose, you must use a bonus action to do so while this spell is active.

Empathy

Creatures can make a Wisdom (Insight) check against a creature's passive Charisma (Deception) score to discover their emotions and moods, but not alignment, or against a DC depending on the apparent difficulty.

The DM may alternatively use passive Wisdom (Insight), and do not require a check for obvious emotions.

Transfer Life

5th-level transmutation (ritual)

Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a humanoid host body, which cannot be replaced by a spell focus, and a crystal worth at least 10 gp)
Duration: Instantaneous

You touch a dead humanoid or a piece of a dead humanoid. Provided that the creature has been dead no longer than 10 days, the creature is reincarnated into the host body.

If the target's soul isn't free or willing to do so, the spell fails. If the host body is living and is unwilling, they must perform a Wisdom saving throw to resist the spell. They have advantage on this roll. If the host creature fails the saving throw, it dies.

While casting this spell, if the two bodies are in contact with any other living beings, be they animals or plants, animal eyes and the entirety of plants glow the colour of the crystal used. Dots of this glowing colour also float around the area, because the aether is being conducted towards the bodies. This glow emanates an energy that is either cool or warm, depending on its caster's colour of the crystal (cool for cool coloured crystals, and warm for warm coloured crystals).

The reincarnated creature recalls its former life and experiences. It retains the capabilities it had in its original form, except it exchanges its original race for the new one and changes its racial traits accordingly.

Vigour

4th-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you make a Constitution saving throw or upon taking damage.
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 rotation

When making a Constitution saving throw or take damage, you may use your reaction to cast this spell to gain advantage in Constitution saving throws for the duration. You additionally gain 3d4 temporary hit points when you cast this spell.
