Wild Mage

By Eric Claypool
D&D 3.5/PF Wizard Archetype
Wild Magic: A Wild Mage is born with an inherent connection to Primal Magic, they can no more
disconnect from it as they live and breath. As such there arcane magic wanes back and forth both
empowering them one moment and weakening them the next. A Wild Mage rolls 2d10 anytime they
cast a spell, or use a wand or rod that produces a spell like effect. The spell's caster level is enhanced or
reduced based on the results of the roll from a +5 to a -5 to the caster level of the spell cast minimum of
1. If the wild mage rolls doubles, then a Wild Surge Occurs causing his magic to spin wildly out of
control, roll on the wild magic chart to determine the effect. Additionally you may memorize one
additional spell per day as if you were a specialist mage. This ability replaces Arcane School.

2d10 Caster Level

Reckless Dweomer: As a wild mage, you may force a wild surge, doing so is a conscious effort by the
mage drawing on primal power. The mage chooses to cast any spell he currently has in his spell book,
just as if he had cast that spell normally including its cast time. The mage immediately rolls on the wild
surge table as if he had rolled doubles, and resolves the effect normally. The Wild Mage gains this
ability in place of Arcane Bond, and can attempt this feat once per day at level 1, and an additional time
per day at 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th.

Chaos Shield: Developing his wild magic further then ever before, a wild mage gains some influence
over his wild magic. At 5th level a wild mage can focus himself by spending 10 minutes, to focus his
mind and body to prepare for coming surges. By doing so he gains a 1d10+intelligence modifier to his
wild surge rolls, any roll over 100 is considered to be 100. At 15th level this bonus increases to
2d10+intelligence modifier, you may use this ability any number of times per day, but being hit or
damaged in combat requires a spellcraft check (concentration) to maintain the ability. Additionally they
learn to control variable aspects of chaos, and anytime they use a magic item that has a variable effect
they must first roll on a 1d100. On a 1-50 they gain control of the items chaos and can choose the
outcome. On a 51-99 the item functions normally, and if they roll a 100--- they cause a wild surge.
This replaces your 5th and 10th level bonus feat.
Tides of Chaos: at 15th level a Wild Mage can use his Reckless Dweomer ability to influence his
opponents spell, on the Wizard's turn he may choose to hold his action, and prepare or if the enemy
caster is in the process of casting a spell. The Wild Mage may cause his opponents spell to surge.
forcing him to roll upon the surge chart. This consumes one of the Wild Mages Reckless uses for that
day as if he had used it on his own spells. Additionally if the Wild Mage has chaos shield active he may
cause it to reduce the number rolled by his chaos shields modifier, or increase it normally. This ability
replaces your 15th level bonus Feat.

Controlled Chaos: Most Wild Mages do not live so long as you have, and you have learned to control
your chaos, and even prevent surges from occurring entirely. Anytime a wild mage causes a wild surge,
he may once per day, equal to his intelligence modifier nullify his own wild surge. He can additionally
effect the number of the roll in one of two ways. First he can choose to reroll the surge entirely, or
cause the number to increase or decrease your roll by 1d10 or 2d10 or 3d10 or 4d10 or 5d10 plus your
intelligence modifier. Controlling your surges, and allowing you to better influence the battle field. You
may choose to use this before or AFTER you have rolled your surge result, maximizing your control
over the chaos of the battle field. You may also use this ability when effecting an enemies spell using
tides of chaos. Finally you may apply this feature to any magic item or spell with a variable effect
including your chance to gain control of such an item. This ability replaces the Wizards Capstone
ability.

you roll doubles on this check you proc a second additional wild magic effect.
