Wu Jen

1

As a wu jen, you empower your magic by drawing on the five elements, spirit forces, and the power of nature. They are seldom found living with the rest of society. Instead, they live as hermits in the wilderness, purifying their bodies and minds to contact the various natural and supernatural powers of the world. From these entities they learn their spells -- magical means to control the invisible forces of the world.

Language of Power

At 2nd level, you learn a language spoken by supernatural entity. Pick Draconic, Giant (Oni), Primordial, or Sylvan.

Elemental Initiation

Many of the wu jen's spells are divided into five elemental groups: earth, fire, metal, water, and wood. At 2nd level, the wu jen binds herself closer to one of them. The cost and time you must spend to copy into your spellbook is halved. See the tables below to see which spells are part of which element.

Watchful Spirit

Once initiated into spirit magic, the wu jen becomes accompanied by a minor spirit. The spirit uses the wu jen's senses, but provides advice and insight. Starting at 2nd level, the wu jen has advantage on initiative rolls.

Elemental Secret

Starting at 6th level, the wu jen finds other ways to use the spirit's advice to enhance her spells in new ways. When you cast a spell from your elemental list, you may apply the benefits of Distant Spell, Extended Spell, or Subtle Spell to the spell. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, you regain expended uses of this feature when you complete a long rest or when you use your Arcane Recovery wizard feature.

Elemental Mastery

At 10th level, the wu jen becomes a master of element she was initiated into at 2nd level. When casting a wizard spell of at least 1st level in the mastered element, you gain a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls and increase the save DC by +1.

Elemental Resilience

Starting at 14th level, you add the protection from energy spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. When you cast protection from energy, you can target an additional target and you may grant a second resistance or grant immunity to one energy type.
