The most common arcane traditions in the multiverse revolve around the schools of magic. Mages through the ages have cataloged thousands of spells, grouping them into eight categories called schools. In some places, these traditions are literally schools; a mage might study at the School of Illusion while another studies across town at the School of Enchantment. In other institutions, the schools are more like academic departments, with rival faculties competing for students and funding. Even mages who train apprentices in the solitude of their own towers use the division of magic into schools as a learning device, since the spells of each school require mastery of different techniques.
### Spell Hunter
### Arcane Explorer
> Designed to offer full compatibility with Wizard archetypes while synergizing with the Mage's reworked mechanics.
You gain new spells from a variety of sources, including monsters. By studying their magical abilities, you can learn new spells that are typically of the same level as the spells you already know. Some spell hunters specialize in learning spells from specific creatures, while others focus on learning spells from a variety of sources.
### Arcane Adaptation
When you complete a short rest, you can swap one prepared spell with another from your spellbook. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
#### Spell Discovery
At the conclusion of each game session, you have the opportunity to gain a new spell that you can cast. This spell can be chosen by either you or the Dungeon Master (DM) and serves as a reflection of your character's magical growth, the various monster encounters you've faced, or the ambient magic you've absorbed during your adventures. Importantly, the spell can be drawn from any spell list, as long as the DM agrees, allowing you to explore options beyond the traditional Mage spell list, including spells from Cleric, Druid, or even monster spell lists.
#### Monster Absorption
Whenever you witness a creature casting a spell or utilizing a magical effect, you have the chance to attempt to absorb that magic. To do so, you must make an Arcana check, with the difficulty set at 10 plus the level of the spell being cast. If you succeed in this check, the spell is successfully stored in your spellbook for future use. However, you can only absorb spells that are of a level up to your highest available spell level. Additionally, you are limited in the number of spells you can absorb in this manner; you can absorb a number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier during each long rest.
### School of Evocation
You focus your study on magic that creates powerful elemental effects such as bitter cold, searing flame, rolling thunder, crackling lightning, and burning acid. Some evokers find employment in military forces, serving as artillery to blast enemy armies from afar. Others use their spectacular power to protect the weak, while some seek their own gain as bandits, adventurers, or aspiring tyrants.

You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell.
