WIZENED MAGE
This archetype can be applied to the mage, battle mage, and war mage class.
Requirements: Int-based arcane or occult casting.
Losses:
- 1st - Invocations require somatic and verbal components like spells.
- 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th level augments.
Gains:
- 1st - Arcane School: As the Wizard class feature, applying their effects to your invocations rather than normal spells. Spells and other magical abilities granted by this feature become invocations with a spell level equal to the highest level invocation you can cast -1 (minimum 1st), unless already noted otherwise.
- At 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th level, you must select an Item Creation or Metamagic feat or the Arcane Bond Wizard class feature in place of an Augment but no sooner than the level a Wizard normally gains them. You can use your other augments to gain more of these abilities as well. Your effective wizard level for these purposes is twice the number of these abilities you already possess or your class level, whichever is lower.
