Alternative Casting Manual

Wonderous Item, Very Rare or Legendary

This manual contains tips and techniques for approaching spellcasting in unorthodox ways. The manual will be associated with a certain class and ability score, according to the tables below. To gain its benefits, you must spend 48 hours over a period of 6 days or fewer studying the book's contents and practicing its guidelines.

If you have levels in the class associated with the manual, your spellcasting ability for that class becomes the ability score associated with the manual. In addition, for any class feature that references that class's original spellcasting ability, you may use the associated ability score of the manual instead.

If you do not have levels in the class associated with the manual, reading the manual changes the requirements for multiclassing. When multiclassing into the class associated with the manual, any ability score minimum for Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma becomes an ability score minimum for the ability score associated with the manual. Once you gain a level in the class, you receive the above benefits as well.

After use the manual loses its magic, but regains it in 1 year.
