Magush

Vizier’s are often seen as being wise. This is a flawed perception born of others mistaking their strong command of arcane and worldly knowledge for wisdom.

Magush however are viziers that specialize in wisdom divined from the heavens. They are both priestly and scholarly in their bearing and are well known for their command of astrology. Magush are nearly always followers of good or neutral aligned gods of fire, knowledge, and purity, but there are some who delve into darker wisdom.

Class Features

A Magush does not gain the Eldritch Insight, Improved Essence Capacity, Ring Binding, and Twinveil Rings class features.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A Magush gains no proficiency with any type of weapon, armor, or shield.

Class Skills

A magush adds Theology to his list of class skills.

Veilweaving

A magush uses Wisdom as their veilweaving modifier and in place of Intelligence. Their veilweaving ability is otherwise unchanged.

Aura

A magush has an alignment aura as a cleric of their vizier class level.

Philosopher Priest

Although not a traditional servant of the divine, a magush’s intense study of divine forces results in a unique insight into the flow of akasha energy many spellcasters unknowingly use to cast spells. Your levels in vizier count as divine spellcaster levels for the purposes of qualifying for feats and abilities and for other caster level based abilities, such as determining your caster level when using a stave.

In addition, when you weave your veils for the day, you can bind some of your essence into any spell trigger item that normally uses charges (wand, staff, etc.) as if the item were a veil, allowing it to benefit from your improved essence capacity. The item gains a number of temporary charges equal to the amount of bound essence. These temporary charges function the same as normal charges, except that they are always used up first and dissipate if not used within 24 hours. These temporary charges cannot be used to trigger spells of 8th level or higher, but they may be used to trigger any other abilities of the item.

You can activate any spell trigger item into which you have bound essence as though you successfully have made any necessary skill checks.

This ability replaces Eldritch Insight

Priest of the Holy Fire

Regardless of their theological allegiances, there is always a strong association between a magush and the divine connotations of fire. At 3rd level, the DCs of fire and positive energy effects produced by the magush’s veils are increased by +1, and the damage or healing caused by these effects are also increased by +2.

At 9th and 15th level, the bonus to DCs increases by an additional +1, and the bonus to healing and damage increases by an additional +2.

In addition, the essence capacity of all your essence receptacles increases by one each time you gains this ability.

This ability replaces Improved Essence Capacity.

Paths of the Wise

At 7th level, a magush gains an additional benefit based on their path of mystic attunement as follows:

Path of the Crafter

When using their Item Identification path ability, a magush can identify magic items as though using the identify spell and may choose to add their Wisdom modifier to the skill check in addition to their Intelligence modifier.

Path of the Eldritch Surgeon

You deep insight into modifying flesh grants you 4 Mutation Points, which you may spend on mutations of your choice.

Path of the Hexweaver

Your power allows you to learn an additional witch hex of your choice. It must be woven into a Hexwoven Band to be used, as normal. In addition, the essence capacity of your Hexwoven Band increases by 1.

Path of the Scholar

Though they focused their talents elsewhere, even a scholarly magush has an affinity for the stars. When scribing scrolls of spells that are found on the domain spell list of the Sun domain or Stars subdomain, they can bypass the normal restrictions for spell prerequisites on spell completion items by adding 4 + spell level to the crafting DC.

In addition, they reduce the cost of creating such spell scrolls by 5%.

 

A magush who follows a path not listed here gains no benefit from this ability.

This ability replaces Ring Binding.

Twinveil Divination

At 13th level, a magush gains the ability to weave and bind a second veil to any one slot already occupied by another veil. This second veil must be Eye of the Oracle, Librarian’s Spectacles, or have the divination descriptor.

This veil still counts against their total number of veils woven.

Akashic Rebirth

When calculating the temporary essence gained from this ability, use your Wisdom modifier rather than your Intelligence modifier.
