A magus is a powerful arcane spellcaster who can cast spells with 2/3 casting, similar to a Bard but more dependent on spells. They can cast arcane spells using the Cast a Spell activity and supply material, somatic, and verbal components when casting spells. Magus can also cast magus spells while wearing heavy armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance.
A magus can prepare two cantrips each day and choose and prepare their spells ahead of time. To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the magus must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. They can cast magus spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance.
Magus can learn spells from a wizard’s spellbook, just as a wizard can from a magus’s spellbook. The spells learned must be on the magus spell list, as normal spells cannot be directly learned. Lore spells are learned spells that become part of your decks, similar to crafting Beastmoon Spellements. To select a mythic spell, you must be able to cast the non-mythic version or have it on your list of known spells.
A magus can cast magus spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a magus can learn spells from a wizard’s spellbook, but the spells learned must be on the magus spell list.
In summary, a magus is a versatile spellcaster who can cast spells with various abilities, including heavy armor, shield use, and learning spells from a wizard’s spellbook.

I just want to thank you for all the hard work you’ve done. While I’ve dabbled in D&D for quite some time, it wasn’t until recently that I’ve decided to take it seriously. You have saved me time and money by investing your own into the very same research I was going to do. Your method is entertaining as well as a informative, which makes it very easy to listen to. With so MANY books and time periods out there, it was hard to figure out where to start, but you’ve given it all to me, from the beginning. I know my players will thank you as well, since your help has given them a rich and immersive environment. Please keep up the good work!
Ive always liked to think of the Weave as like the internet, or World Wide Web. Its nowhere and everywhere at the same time. You cant touch it yet it touches everything. If you have the capability to tap into it you can access the magic energy, like data from the net. The Shadow Weave would obviously be the darknet lol.
In one of our campaigns, we had a Netherese Shadovar Wizard who was around from the good old days. What was amusing what that I was playing an Elan psionicist from Jhaamdath, so I would occasionally call him “Youngster”. Could you do a section on Jhaamdath, or if there’s not enough material, on the Ancient Realms kingdoms in general?
Wizard is also my favorite class! I have a lot of second favorite classes, though: paladin, monk, rogue, fighter… I have a homebrew build I’m working on for young dragons who are polymorphed into humanoid forms, living most of their lives that way. They have innate spellcasting due to their nature as dragons, so I give them levels in draconic bloodline sorcerer for every character level (specializing in one or two appropriate elements and types of spells; a polymorphed gold dragon isn’t the kind of person who wants to create an army of undead) and half-levels in whatever class they have for each level. This way they keep their innate spellcasting property as dragons and accept some penalty in character classes, but they still get to polymorph into young dragons and get things like a flying speed and great melee weapon attacks. In humanoid form and draconic form they have the same mental abilities (int, wis, cha) and different physical abilities (str, dex, con). IN MY GAMES, I INTEND THIS BUILD FOR NPCs and I want the draconic nature of these characters to be revealed gradually for the PCs; I just think it’s a cool “destined companion” kind of NPC or (in the case of chromatic dragons) villain. // Example, I have a young silver dragon who masquerades as a young adult human woman with a noble background. She uses a stone as an arcane focus which is actually the silver orb of dragonkind. When I discovered this item, I was inspired to make this Sailor Moon kind of character, and while this is very different as I tried to take out a lot of tropes, she retained a name based on her inspiration: Tsuki.
I don’t like the weave Very much, now don’t get me wrong, theirs is nothing wrong with It, I Just prefere Magic that comes from pure energy, aether, quintenssece, mana etc…, rather than something like the force, because than It sounds more personal, like It comes from you, sure you can harness It from your surroundings like druids and clerics, but It still has a connection with you, instead of being indefernt to you, when a powerful spellcaster dies the weave is unafected, even If It is a sorcerer for example…. I don’t know How to really explains It, maybe I Just think There should not be a “the” for Magic
I’m reading a series about the Netherese Empire, with the crazy floating castles. From what I understand, it was about 2,000 years before 5E takes place, and there was crazy powerful magic back then, like up to 13th level. I think after the fall of the Empire some god was like “hey, knock off all that powerful magic, you gonna break something!”, so now magic only goes to level 9.
