You recover all mana after a long rest. Your wizard Spellcasting is based on your Intelligence. You start with 3 spells of your choosing from the arcane spell list. At 3rd level, and every odd level thereafter, you gain 1 new spell from the arcane spell list.
• Wizardry: You gain a +3 bonus on Arcane Lore and Spellcasting checks.

Secondary Class Features

• Warrior-at-Arms: You gain a +3 bonus on attack rolls with manufactured weapons. Boost: You can expend 1 Hero Dice to cause an attack roll with a manufactured weapon to have an Absolute bonus.

Spells Known

• Fireball (fire, instant): You conjure a ball of fire that you hurl at your foes, causing it to violently explode. You hurl a fireball up to 100 feet and it causes 1d8 fire damage per 2 character levels (minimum 1d8) + your highest mental ability modifier in a 10-foot radius burst. All creatures in this area must attempt a Reflex save. If they are successful, they take no damage. This spell causes anything flammable to burn.
• Elemental Touch (touch, instant): Your hand shimmers with pure elemental energy: ablaze with fire, seething with frigid cold, cracking with electricity, humming with a violent sonic edge, or even oozing with caustic acid. This spell allows you to touch a creature, causing 1d6 damage per 2 character levels (minimum 1d6) + your highest mental ability modifier. At the time of casting you can choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic.
• Magic Missile (magic [damage], cantrip, instant): You fire a number of small darts of raw arcane force that home in on your foe. These magical energy darts have a range of 30 feet and automatically hit (so long as there is no cover or miss chance) the creature you target. Each dart causes only 1 magic damage and, by default, you fire 1d4 darts when you cast this spell.

Biography

Virdena comes from a peripheral elven city. Her tribe was considered “uncivilized” by the noble elves of the capital, so she always felt the need to prove herself when she went to train in magic and the art of combat there. Full of wild dreams about becoming a hero of legend, Virdena fell in love with one of her teachers, an elven cleric of the most noble family and pure blood. She felt unworthy of him and never confessed her feelings, but rather decided to leave and carve a name for herself in the world, so she could come back proudly some day and maybe win the attention of her beloved.
