===Restrictions===
You can’t fight or cast spells while encumbered, wearing a suit of plate, or using a shield.

===Skills===
Spellslingers are good at travelling and surviving in the wilderness; gambling, stage magic, and minor sleight of hand tricks; and a roguish style of persuasion and showmanship. You may have knowledge of one particular tradition of magic, but you are not so much an academic.

You might also be skilled at some other profession that does not pay you particularly well, such as acting or writing.

===Special Abilities===
*In combat, you may cast a spell as a simple action, or instead of moving. Thus, you may attack, dodge, or move and still cast a spell in the same round. You may also cast a spell in the same round you are injured.
*When you cast a spell you have memorized, whether you retain control or not, you may lose points of Dexterity in order to keep it in your memory, instead of forgetting it. If the spell is your level or lower, lose 1 point of Dexterity. If the spell is higher level than you are, lose 2 points of Dexterity.
*You have mastery of 2 spells per level, plus additional spells equal to your Intelligence modifier. If the total of your level and modifier is less than 1, you have mastery over no spells.
*You have Psychic Armour. Roll a number of Hit Dice (d6s) equal to your level and add them together to determine your Psychic Armour score, just as you do for Disposition. You are not required to re-roll this score when you take a rest, but you may, if you like.
*For each spell you start with, you may either roll on the full table or roll on the specific school table of your choice. When you gain new spells upon advancing a level, you must roll on the full table to determine each of them.

===Spells===
''Memorized 4/4''
*Imbuement
*'''Flare''', L1 Fire spell | Range: 100' per CL | Duration: Instant | Effect: Caster only
This spell projects a tiny ball of light from your hand that explodes in a large burst of bright light when it reaches the end of its range. This flare is visible for miles around. If the flare explodes in someone’s face, they are blinded for 2d6 rounds.
*'''Plague of Vermin''', L5 Animals/Chaos/Summoning spell | Range: 1 mile per CL | Duration: 1 day | Effect: 1 location
This spell summons a swarm of insects, rats, or other small vermin to plague a settlement or other location within range. The swarm can be up to 50 feet per caster level wide when amassed. You must know the location’s name if you cannot see, hear, or touch it. If there are no vermin at all in the area, they are summoned from the nearest location that does have vermin, even if they cannot actually survive in the target location.
*Spell 3
*Spell 4
*Spell 5
*Spell 6

Per the Magic rules, spells of a higher level than the character may be cast. If cast by ''Reading a Formula'' or ''Casting from Memory'', the character must succeed on a d20 roll against half their Intelligence score to Control the spell or suffer failure and miscasting. If cast by ''Performing a Ritual'', the roll to Control the spell is made against the full Intelligence score of the character.
