In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a scholar spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.    

Applied Magical Studies

At 6th level, your understanding of the Weave allows you to intuitively manipulate its flow. You can cast the Counterspell and Dispel Magic spells without expending spell points. When you reach 17th level, you can also cast the Control Magic spell this way. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells. These do not count against the number of spells you know.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your scholar level divided by 3, rounded down. Casting Counterspell or Dispel Magic this way consumes one use, while casting Control Magic this way consumes two uses. You regain all uses of this ability when you finish a long rest.  

Consummate Wielder

At 11th level, your studies grant you incredible versatility. You can attune to all magical items that require attunement by a spellcaster, ignoring all specific class, race, and alignment requirements.   Additionally, choose a spell from one of your concentrations that is 3rd level or lower as your arcanum spell. You can cast it once without expending spell points, and you must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for any spells you cast this way.   You can replace your arcanum spell with a new one from either of your concentrations when you level up. When you reach 13th level in this class, your arcanum spell can be 4th level or lower. When you reach 19th level, it can be 5th level or lower.  

Unified Weave Theory

At 17th level, your mastery of magical theory has led you to reverse-engineer the secrets of your field. You gain another arcanum spell. You can cast each arcanum spell once without expending spell points, and you regain the ability to cast both your arcanum spells when you complete a long rest.   Whenever you could replace an arcanum spell with another one, you can replace either of them, but you may only replace one of them at a time.  

Arcane Thesis

Additionally at 17th level, if both your arcanum spells are available to cast, you can expend both of them to cast a spell of 6th level or lower of your choice from either of your concentrations. You need not know the spell. When you do so, you immediately gain two levels of exhaustion, regardless of whether the spell succeeds or fails.   You can only cast a spell using this feature if you have not done so within the last seven days.

Haunting Echo

Beginning at 9th level, your knowledge of the supernatural can be manifested as a small image of an unfortunate creature. Over the course of an hour, which can be done during a short rest, you can perform a ritual to construct an effigy of a creature. In order to do so, you must have at least heard of or seen the creature before, and the target must be in the same system as you. At the end of the hour, the creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your maneuver save DC. This saving throw is modified by how well you know the target and the sort of physical connection you have to it, as shown in the Knowledge Save Modifier and Connection Save Modifier tables below.

The doll remains linked for 24 hours, or for 10 minutes after you first use it. It disintegrates at the end of this duration. For the duration, you can see and hear the target through the doll as if you were within 5 feet of the creature.   Additionally, as action while the doll is in your possession, you can expend a Hit Die to torment the target, choosing an effect from the following options:
