Weave Incarnate

“	Those all powerful bookworms are so proud of their knowledge in Art even though Weave was never part of them. Nut Weave can be understood innately, to the point of becoming one with It.	”
—Mage becoming transcendent being

Beings, which Weave is part of, can acquire some kind of unity with the Weave by focusing their heritage and connection to the Art. By doing so, all spells known to such person are seen just as a clay, able to change shape however Caster pleases.

Becoming a Weave Incarnate

Those innate spellcasters who seek increasing their freedom in manipulating the Weave can focus their growth in power on their heritage. That allows to deepen the knowledge of how their are connected with Art and thus increase their capibilities to the point of becoming the Weave themselves.

Skills:	Spellcraft 15 ranks, Knowledge (Arcane) 15 ranks.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Weave Incarnate.

Spellcasting: At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one arcane spontaneous spellcasting class before becoming a Weave Incarnate, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

Spells: To cast a particular spell, you must have an Charisma score of at least 10 + the spell's level. Your bonus spells are based on your Charisma. Saves to avoid the effects of your spells have a DC of 10 + the spell's level + your Charisma bonus (if any). You cast spells as a Sorcerer does.

Bonus Metamagic Feat: At 1st level the Weave Incarnate may select any metamagic feat as a bonus feat. She must meet any prerequisites for a feat in order to select it.

Accumulation of Magic: By focusing on deepening her natural talent with Weave, magic itself starts pulling into existence of Weave Incarnate. She gains a pool of power which can be used to empower metamagic rather than normal caster capabilities. Per each level in this class, character gains 1 point of Weave Power which can be used to lower spell level increase due to applying metamagic by one per point spent.

Weave Alteration: Weave Incarnate focuses on specific way of changing the Weave. She can choose any of the following abilities:

Expanded Knowledge

Choose a two spells up to one level lower than the highest-level spell you can cast from any class's spell list. You can add these spells to the spell list of the same arcane spellcasting class to which you added your increased spellcasting ability at that level. Spellcasting ability fr those spells is the same as taken for Incarnate. Those spells can be changed at each new level even if taken class is different from Weave Incarnate.

Metamagic Mastery

Choose one of possessed metamagic feats. Applying it to any spell lowers increase in spell level by one (to a minimum of +1).

Spell Mastery

Choose one spell known. Applying metamagic feats to it lowers spell level increase for each feat by one (to a minimum of +1).

Favored by Magic Beasts

This ability functions as Extra Familiar Feat.

Mastery of Counterspelling

When the Archmage counterspells a spell, it is turned back upon the caster as if it were fully affected by a spell turning spell. If the spell cannot be affected by spell turning, then it is merely counterspelled. This ability costs one 7th-level spell slot.

Mastery of Elements

The Archmage can alter an arcane spell when cast so that it utilizes a different element from the one it normally uses. This ability can only alter a spell with the acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic descriptor. The spell’s casting time is unaffected. The caster decides whether to alter the spell’s energy type and chooses the new energy type when he begins casting. This ability costs one 8th-level spell slot.

Mastery of Shaping

The archmage can alter area and effect spells that use one of the following shapes: burst, cone, cylinder, emanation, or spread. The alteration consists of creating spaces within the spell’s area or effect that are not subject to the spell. The minimum dimension for these spaces is a 5-foot cube. Furthermore, any shapeable spells have a minimum dimension of 5 feet instead of 10 feet. This ability costs one 6th-level spell slot.

Ring Mastery

This ability increases the number of rings that Incarnate can use up to 4. Taking this ability multiple times allows you to wear one additional ring each time.

Spell Power

This ability increases the Incarnate's effective caster level by +1 (for purposes of determining level-dependent spell variables such as damage dice or range, and caster level checks only). This ability costs one 5th-level spell slot.

Arcane Mastery

You can take 10 on caster level check rolls (as if the caster level check was a skill check and still adding your Caster Level). You can use this feat even while under stress.

Metamagic Feat

Weave Incarnate may select any metamagic feat instead of Weave Alteration powers. She must meet any prerequisites for a feat in order to select it.

Item Creation Feat

Weave Incarnate may select any item creation geat instead of Weave Alteration powers. She must meet any prerequisites for a feat in order to select it.

One with the Weave: Weave Incarnate became somehow a part of Weave itself and cannot be separated from it. Her physical form starts to change. Weave Incarnate is immune to all non magical poison and diseases. Also starts to age much slower than any creature of her race. Time flows much slower for Incarnate. Maximal lifespan increases five times (as example, human can live up to 500 years, but elf up to 3,500 years), as well as she cannot be magically aged and penalties of old age do not apply but bonuses to abilities from old age apply in normal rate. Also, she gains following abilities.

First, all spells Weave Incarnate casts are much harder to resist and dispel as they are imbued by the Weave itself. DC of all spells are increased by 1. Dispel DC of her spells is increased by 2. Gains +2 inherent bonus to overcome spell resistance. All permanent spells cast by her cannot by dispelled, though successful dispel check stops effect of such spells for 1d6+1 rounds.

Next, she gain the power to rejuvenate their spent magic. Once per day per class level, by focussing for 1 minute (10 consecutive full round actions) she may regain a spent 1st level spell slot. For every additional consecutive minute that she focuses she can increase the level of the regained slot, to a maximum of the highest level she can cast in the spellcasting class that she has advanced with Weave Incarnate levels, minus one.

Finally she gains a feat that may be changed each time she recover their spells. This feat must be an Item Creation or Metamagic feat. Also, each day she may pick one item creation or metamagic feat she possess (either from this feature or any other feat slot) and either reduce all item creation costs (gold, time, and XP) by 25% (this does not stack with other cost reduction methods) or reduce the spell level increase by 1, to a minimum of 0.
