'''THREE CORE TALENTS'''</br>
All Magic Users, regardless of type, are require to take the 3 core talents listed below at 1st level – Astral Perception and Projection, Spell-Casting and Summoning. If multi-classing after 1st level your first talent pick must come from the Core magic-user talents.</br>
'''''Magic Points and Magnitude''''': All magic users gain ''Magic Points'' that are used to fuel their casting of spells and summoning abilities along with a ''Magnitude'' rating which determines how powerful a spell they can cast or creature they can summon safely.</br>
''Magic Points'' are equal to the tradition’s defining attribute. This increases by a number of additional points equal to your tradition’s defining attribute's modifier every level in Magic User they achieves after first. A caster recovers 1d4 magic points +1 per magic-user level (i.e. a 3rd level magic user recovers 1d4 +3 magic points) after a short rest or 2d4 points +2 per mageic-user level after a long rest, unless otherwise noted. During either rest a caster can spend Hit Dice to recover the above amounts instead of hit points (i.e. a 3rd level magic-user who spends one Hit Dice for magic point recover regains another 1d4+3 during the short rest or 2d4+6 with a long rest). A caster can spend a Karma Point to regain the short rest amount any time as an Action (i.e. a 3rd level magic-user spends a karma point to regain 1d4+3 magic points as an Action). Finally, as an Action, the magic-user choices to suffers one level of Exhaustion and regain the short rest amount (i.e. a 3rd level magic user can take an action and one level of Exhaustion to regain 1d4+3 magic points).</br>
''Magnitude Level or Rating'' of all beginning magic-users starts at 3. This is the “safe” level that a magic-user can cast her spells up to and the force level of a spirit she can summon. The higher the magnitude the greater the spell or spirit! A magic-user can cast a spell or summon a spirit up to 3 levels over his magnitude level (i.e. a 3rd level magic-user can cast up to a 6 magnitude spell) but when he does so in addition to the Magic Point cost it also costs he 1d4 magical hit points of damage per Magnitude Level (not just the level over the caster’s safe level; i.e. a 3rd level magic user casting a magnitude 6 spell suffers 6d4 hit points of damage). This damage ignores all Resistance or any Damage Reductions/Hardness that the caster or summoner currently has, regardless of the source. There are talents that increases a magic-user’s Magnitude Rating.</br>

'''''Hermetic Mages''''' use their Intelligence score while '''''Shamanic''''' character use their Wisdom score as their Tradition’s Defining Attribute.</br>
A caster's '''''Magical Save''''' is '''DC8''' + your proficiency modifier + your defining ability modifies. Your '''Magical Attack''' modifier is equal to your Proficiency + your defining attribute modifier.</br>
Magic-users suffer from the Strain of Cybernetic implants. Each every 2 points Strain is a -1 to all attack rolls, skill and ability checks and saving while Astral Projecting, a -1 to Magical attack modifier and a reduction of your Magical saves '''DC''' by one.</br>

CORE MAGIC USER TALENT TREE</br>
All beginning magic-users must take all three of the following talents. Characters that multi-class in a magic-user must take one of these talants when they first take this class.</br>
:'''Astral Perception and Projection''': this is the ability of the magic-user to perceive and project into the astral plane. In order to switch over to astral perception is a bonus action (it is a reaction to end it automatically). You gain the effect of ''truesight'' and can communicate with astral beings. However this is distracting and imposing Disadvantage on all attack rolls and skill or ability checks that require sight. In order to astral project ones spirit into the astral plane or from the astral plane back into their body requires a full round ritual (Speed 0, no bonus or reactions). Each hour spent in Astral Space deals one level of Exhaustion to the caster. While projecting he can ignore this fatigue but it can kill him if he remain too long. After returning to your meat body you recover all exhaustion gained this after a short or long rest. See ASTRAL SPACE in MAGIC.</br>
:'''Spell-Casting''': this is the ability of the magic-user to cast spells. Spells cost 1 Magic Point per Magnitude Level. Any spell that allows a saving throw uses your save '''DC''' while those that are attack rolls use your Magic Attack bonus. A magic-user can concentrate to maintain two spells that require concentration at one time but doing so require two separate concentration checks to maintain, each at -2, if he suffers damage. Failure results in that particular spell ending immediately. When you take this talent you gain three Spell choices. See SPELLS AND SPELL CASTING in MAGIC.</br>
:'''Summoning''': the ability of the magic-user to summon Elementals (if a Hermitic Mage) or Natural Spirits (if Shamanic). Summoning is an ability check using the summoner’s Charisma ability modifier plus their proficiency bonus plus any other miscellaneous (from a magic item, etc.) as the Conjuring Check. Conjuring an element or spirit has a base cost of 2 Magic Points per Magnitude Level. Failure costs 1 Magic Point but if the summoner overcasting it also costs a minimum damage in HP (i.e. a 3rd level magic user who attempted and failed to summon a Magnitude 4 fire elemental still loses 1 MP and 4 HP of damage). When you first take this talent you can chose two type of spirits from you available list. See SUMMONING ELEMENTALS & NATURAL SPIRITS in MAGIC</br>

EMPOWERED TALENT TREE</br>
These Talent enhance and enpower the magic-users core Talents.</br>
:'''Astral Warrior''': When you are astral projecting you gain Advantage on any melee attacks verses another astral being and your unarmed astral damage increases to 1d10 plus your traditional ability modifier. You gain Resistance to all damage you take in your astral form when projecting.</br> 
:'''Elemental Mastery''': You add a +2 insight bonus to summoning one type of elemental or spirit and at one level higher in magnitude at no additional magic point cost (i.e. a 4th magnitude spirit counts as a 3rd magnitude). This allows the summoner to over-summon safely by +1 magnitude but you still cannot exceed the maximum +3 for over-casting. You can take this talent multiple times, each time it must apply to a different specific elemental or spirit type that you can summon.</br>
:'''Mentor Spirit''': You gain a spirit guide that aids you with magic. This guide grants you two of the following benefits. Work with the GM to determine which effects best suit your guide: (a) Astral Bonus – you gain a +2 bonus to all skills rolls, saving throws, ability checks while astral projecting or (b) Casting Bonus - pick one spell category (Combat, Detect, Health, Illusion or Transformation). Casting any spells from your chosen group cost 1 less Magic point (no minimum). This can be combine with any other talent or focus that reduces Magic point cost, down to zero points or (c) Gain a +2 bonus to Conjuring Checks and reduce the Magic Point cost by 1 with one elemental or spirit type of choice or (d) Gain a +2 bonus to one appropriate skill of choice. You can chose this talent additional times, each time choosing two new but different abilities (they do not stack; i.e. you can’t gain +4 while in astral space, or with a skill, etc.).
:'''Spell Mastery''': Gain additional insight with one specific spell that you must chose when you take this talent. When you take this talent gains one of the following: (a) add +1 magnitude to the spell for free (at no magic points cost) and safely (can exceed safe casting by +1 but this still cannot exceed the +3 overcasting) or (b) increase the saving throw '''DC''' by +3 or (c) gain advantage on any listed skills in the spell for the duration or (d) spells that are resisted by a skill roll you impose Disadvantage when used against this spell for the duration. You can take this talent multiple times, each time it must be applied to a different spell.</br>
:'''Spell Shielding''': As a Bonus action you reduce all magical damage caused by spells and weapons by 2 and gain +2 magical bonus to all saving throws verse spells that allow them until the end of your next round. You can expend a Magic Point to extend these benefits to a number of allies equal to your traditions defining ability modifier. You can take this talent a second time but you must have 5 levels in Magic-User to do so. You now reduce all magical damage by 5 points and you’re saving throw bonus verses spells increase to +5 for the duration of the effect.</br>
