Aethermancer
Harness the Mystical Aether and Weave Spells Like Never Before
The Aethermancer is a new and unique spellcasting class that taps into the mysterious energies of the Aetheric Mist, a magical substance that permeates the Floating Isles of Arion. These skilled spellcasters master the art of manipulating Aether, enabling them to cast spells in ways others cannot fathom.
With their innate connection to the Aetheric Mist, Aethermancers can cast spells from within the mist, extending their reach and surprising foes. As they progress, they unlock one of three powerful subclasses - the Aetheric Warden, the Elemental Conduit, or the Arcane Seer - each specializing in different aspects of Aether manipulation.
Aethermancers are versatile casters, drawing their spells from the sorcerer's spell list. They can bend reality and shape the battlefield to their advantage, making them a force to be reckoned with in any encounter.

spellcasting:
Aethermancer's do not use spellpoints. Alone they have no spells to rely on. They draw their Magic from the Aether. When anyone is exposed to The Aetheric Mists for an extended amount of time they gain Radiation points which can be lethal. Aethermancers, However, are able to withstand these radiation points and negative effects they cause and use these Radiation points as spell points. Instead of learning leveled spells they have access to the full spell list at level 1 and must expend radiation points equal to the spells level. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Aethermancer spells, since you have learned and are adapting to how top use the aether in your own way. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Aethermancer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
