Blackstaff Apprentice

Prerequisite: Wizard levels
You have trained as an apprentice of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun. His skill in magic is regarded Realms-wide, and many well-known mages learned their Art at his tower in the city of Waterdeep.

• You gain proficiency in one of the following skills: Arcana, History or Religion.
• You may "store" a spell you can prepare as a wizard into a staff focus you own; this spell may not be higher in level than your Intelligence bonus.
  • For all intents and purposes, this spell is considered to be a spell you have prepared for as long as you are in physical contact with your staff.
  • You may change out the spell contained in the staff with an hour-long ritual and the expenditure of a hit die.
  • You can have a number of these "spellstaves" prepared at a time equal to your proficiency bonus.
• You have a +1 bonus to AC while you wield a staff in (at least) one hand.
• You need not use an active magic item attunement in order to remain attuned to Blackstaff Tower.
