Profession: Magician

 MAGICIAN

Magicians are practitioners of Enchantment, a field of magical study most closely associated with illusion and conjuration. As magicians are single-classed characters, their choice of spells is initially quite limited, especially when compared to dual-classed spell casters such as wizards, sorcerers, and witches. There are advantages, however, to the magician's single-classed status; with only one field of study to major in, magicians are able to progress upwards in level of ability at a much more rapid rate than their dual-classed rivals. As specialists in the field of enchantment, magicians are also the only individuals capable of learning the most powerful spells of illusion and conjuration.

Magicians may be of any alignment, and may earn their living by any number of means. Like charlatans, novice magicians may seek work in traveling shows, though few will pursue such a career for any great length of time. Because they are skilled in the mixing of powders and other magical substances, magicians will occasionally work with alchemists, either as assistants or as full partners. High level magicians sometimes even open their own shops, selling magical and alchemical wares of all sorts.

All magicians have the following special abilities in common:

1 Detect Illusion: Though magicians may use magic to detect illusory objects and creatures, they are often able to make such determinations through observation alone. Chance of success is 35% + 5% per level of ability.*

2 Detect Conjuration: Magicians are often able to differentiate between real creatures or beings and those created through conjuration. Chance of success is as per the Detect Illusion ability.*

*Perception % bonuses apply to both of these abilities.
