Wizard - Order of Ferromancy
Order of Ferromancy Wizard, by Duong Thanh Lam
The Order of Ferromancy is for wizards devoted to metal magic, creating and shaping metal to control their world!
Ferromancy wizards are versatile casters, capable of supporting their comrades or devastating their foes. They don't make use of a whole new school of magic, but rather a category within existing spells; most ferromancy spells are conjuration or transmutation. (20 spells are tagged as ferromancy, 13 of them created specifically to accompany this subclass!).
Design-wise: This was a fun one! Metal Lore is our not-ribbon; a free cantrip and an attempt to do better than the School Savant features (rather than making it cheap to add spells to your book, it gives you some bonus spells in the book and makes it cheap to write scrolls of them). Iron Shell is our baseline feature, granting pretty significant AC boosts when you cast ferromancy spells. Metal Magus is a utility feature your martials will love; modifying shape metal and letting you supply a damage, AC, or reach boost. Quicksilver Boon is very strong, but with the key aspect that it's competing with counterspell and shield for your ferromancer's reaction. Scholar of Steel completes your ability to modify metal ordinarily, and Iron Will continues our defensive theme with strong save boosts while Iron Shell is up.
As always, you're invited to come discuss and offer feedback on Discord!
