Abilities
You may change your physical appearance and body shape to another humanoid form at will. You can’t mimic the appearance of a specific person. You have disadvantage on Mighty.
You may make a spell check using Smart to dispel the magic of your enemies (per the spell Dispel Magic). Additionally, as a reaction, you may absorb their spell before its targets are affected by the magic as long as your opponent is visible to you (per the spell Counterspell) and you have not already acted in the round. To absorb an opponent’s magic, you must spend MP equal to the MP your opponent spent to cast the spell. As long as you have MP (and at the GM's discretion), you can create minor, illusory cantrips related to your maleficence. Such cantrips are instantaneous and harmless, and cannot duplicate the effects of any other spells.
Your studies in wizarding school have taught you how to use arcane implements to intensify your magic. You cast your spells through a focus object, such as a wand, staff, or crystal ball. Whenever you spend MP to cast a spell, you may add 1 MP to your magic pool to cast the spell as long as you have your focus object in your possession. Artifice spell checks explode on a 5 or a 6.

Maleficence
Acid
Sorcery +9
Damage caused by this maleficence ignores soak conferred by armor. Additionally, a successful hit with the maleficence destroys a supply or gold (or an equivalent declared item of the victim's choice if the victim has no gold supply): on 1) 4d6 gold, 2-3) consumable, 4-5) cheap, 6) luxury. If a specific weapon, shield, or other mundane object is the target of the maleficence, the victim must make a spell check vs. your attack roll, or else the item is destroyed. (Entire suits of armor cannot be destroyed by acid in this way.)
Spells
-
Antimagic Shell
Abjuration +9
You convert your maleficence into a magic-absorbing shell, the size and placement of which may be as large or as small as desired within the area of effect. Any spells passing through the shell are converted into MP that restore your MP. You regain MP equal to the MP spent to cast the captured spell, but you cannot regain more MP than your pool's maximum. While the shell is active, you cannot move and must concentrate on working the spell, or else the spell ends.
-
Basilisk Gaze
Enchantment +9
Your gaze transmits a maleficence that transmogrifies a single target into magic stone. The transmogrified is petrified for the duration of the spell, but they remain conscious. This spell can only affect a victim if they meet your gaze. Magic stone cannot be destroyed by physical means, and is unharmed by magic.
-
Bestow Curse
Enchantment +4
You bestow upon your victim a curse of your choosing: blindness, deafness, or muteness.
-
Breath Weapon
Elemental +9
You breathe your maleficence into the area of effect. Everyone within the area of effect is subject to its peril (except you), but your maleficence deals zero damage.
-
Command
Charm +9
You command a single target to perform a single action, as if they were charmed by you. No form of magic can be used to command the target to perform suicidal actions or actions that would knowingly endanger them, including alterations to this spell. A victim so charmed attempts to carry out the action for as long as the spell's duration, or until it is accomplished or made impossible.
-
Fear
Illusion +9
Your maleficence manifests as an illusion that induces fear and panic in your targets. Each round the spell is in effect, your targets must make a spell check or else become frightened and flee from you in terror. While frightened of you, you receive advantage in all actions against them. If they are unable to flee, they may be compelled to speak the truth or do your bidding. You must concentrate on the working of the spell, or else your targets will no longer fear you.
-
Tipple
Force +9
You telekinetically move a volume of liquid equal to the area of effect to the lips of your target within the area of effect for the duration of the spell. If the target is unwilling to drink, they are entitled to a spell check, and if they fail, they are considered entangled as the flow of liquid drowns them for the duration of the spell. (A victim who is drowning for more rounds than they have Mighty is automatically placed on death’s door.) If you subject a victim to forced imbibing in this way, you must concentrate on the spell or else the spell ends.
-
Word of Undoing
Force +9
You utter a magic word at your targets, which unleashes a destructive resonance within them. Your targets can be of any size in the area of effect, up to a weight of 100 pounds per MP spent. Brittle and fragile objects immediately explode; rock, metal, and other similarly tough materials may require you to make a spell check vs. a TN of the GM's choosing. This spell does not work against living flesh or magical objects.
Maleficence
Acid
Sorcery +9
Damage caused by this maleficence ignores soak conferred by armor. Additionally, a successful hit with the maleficence destroys a supply or gold (or an equivalent declared item of the victim's choice if the victim has no gold supply): on 1) 4d6 gold, 2-3) consumable, 4-5) cheap, 6) luxury. If a specific weapon, shield, or other mundane object is the target of the maleficence, the victim must make a spell check vs. your attack roll, or else the item is destroyed. (Entire suits of armor cannot be destroyed by acid in this way.)

Expert Gastronomy
Active
You've developed a uncanny ability to analyze the sensory makeup of food and drink. When you sniff or taste a meal as an action, you can determine its exact composition, and whether it's been corrupted in some way. (The quantity you taste does not harm you.) For each round you concentrate on the flavor, you may determine one mechanical reality. In the case of a poison, examples of mechanical realities include the type of poison, the harm it inflicts, or its onset and duration.
