Evocation — Sagor från Valoris

The Evoker studies the most direct magic there is: the shaping of raw elemental energy into fire, frost, lightning, and force, and the hurling of it at whatever needs to stop existing. This is the school of the fireball and the lightning bolt, of magic as sheer destructive power — and while other traditions might sniff at its lack of subtlety, none can match what a master Evoker does to a battlefield. When the answer to a problem is more damage, the Evoker is already casting.

It is the most devastating and precise of the wizard schools — precise not in restraint but in control. An Evoker's cantrips never fully whiff, their blasts carve neatly around their allies, and they can pour their own intellect into the damage or push a spell clean past its natural limit into maximum devastation. Theirs is the discipline of the artillery mage: not to be gentle, but to make sure that when the fire falls, it falls exactly where — and only where — they meant it to.

3rd Level

Evocation Savant

Firepower comes cheaply to you. Add two Evocation spells (each level 2 or lower) to your spellbook for free, and whenever you reach a new tier of spell slots, you can scribe another Evocation spell for free — assembling an arsenal of blasts faster and cheaper than any wizard who dabbles across the schools.

3rd Level

Potent Cantrip

Your smallest spells still bite. When you cast a cantrip at a creature and miss with the attack roll, or the target succeeds on its saving throw, the target still takes half the cantrip's damage (though none of its other effects). Even a whiffed Fire Bolt scorches — your damage floor is simply higher than everyone else's.

6th Level

Sculpt Spells

You carve your blasts around your friends. When you cast an Evocation spell that would affect other creatures, you can choose 1 + the spell's level of them to automatically succeed on their saves and take no damage at all. Drop a Fireball right on top of the melee and watch your allies stroll out of the flames untouched.

10th Level

Empowered Evocation

You pour your own intellect into the fire. Whenever you cast a Wizard spell from the Evocation school, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one of its damage rolls — a flat, reliable bonus atop every blast you throw, turning an already-fearsome caster into a genuine artillery piece.

14th Level

Overchannel

You can force a spell past its limit. When you cast a damaging spell of levels 1–5, you can deal its maximum possible damage. The first time between rests is free — but push it again and the magic recoils, searing you for 2d12 Necrotic damage per slot level (ignoring Resistance and Immunity), and rising each further time. Devastation on demand, for a price your fragile body pays.
