Spells

Whee, this is where we're going to work on spells, for now!

Determining Spell Type (At-Will/Encounter/Daily)

If the JP cost of a spell is less than or equal to your base Force bonus, it is an at-will spell.

If the JP cost of a spell is less than or equal to total Force bonus for this class (base Force bonus + your Intelligence modifier), but is higher than your base Force bonus, it is an encounter spell.

If the JP cost of a spell is higher than your total Force bonus for this class, it is a daily spell.

Example: You are a 3rd-level wizard with a 16 Intelligence. Your base Force bonus is +3, and your total for this class is +6. All spells you know with JP cost 3 or less are at-will; spells with JP cost 4, 5, and 6 are encounter; and anything with JP cost 7 or higher is daily.

Spell Acquisition

You have to spend JP to gain access to spells. Once you have access to a spell, you can spend more JP to improve it.

The names are probably going to be rather bland, for the time being. We're also going to focus on combat-centric spells, for now.

FIRE 
  Evocation [Fire]
  JP Cost: 1
  Range: 20 feet
  Target: One creature
  Avoid: Reflex negates
  Cast Action: Standard
  Cast Time: 5 ticks
  Duration: Instant

You conjure a ball of flame that burns the target, dealing 1d6 + (Int) [fire] damage. A successful Reflex save negates this damage.

UPGRADES
Each upgrade after the first increases the JP cost by +1 for each previous upgrade.

  Range (1 JP): The range of this spell is increased by 5 feet.
  Effect (2 JP): The base damage dealt by this spell increases by 1d6.
  Burn (3 JP): 5 ticks after this spell lands, it deals 1 [fire] damage per 1d6 dealt by the base spell. Creatures that
     successfully save against the initial effect are immune to this ongoing damage.
  Extended Burn (2 JP): The burn effect occurs an additional time 5 ticks after the initial proc. (Requires: Burn)
  Area (5 JP): The spell affects a 5-foot radius area.
  Extended Area (3 JP): The area affected by this spell increases by 5 feet. (Requires: Area)
  Engulf (5 JP): The avoid for this spell becomes "Avoid: Reflex quarter."
  Improved Engulf (10 JP): The avoid for this spell becomes "Avoid: Reflex half." (Requires: Engulf)
