Force Mage

 Force Mage 

(PRESTIGE CLASS: This class is not available at character creation and must be unlocked by meeting special requirements, listed below.)

The spell magic missile is an iconic one, a favored staple of many arcane spellcasters and an example of raw magical force. Thus it is no wonder that a cabal of arcane spellcasters focuses their studies on this spell, determined to perfect its casting technique above all others. The outcome of such focused study results in the ability to warp the magical energies involved in casting magic missile, which leads to the creation of new abilities that augment the spell's effects. These inspired spellcasters are known as force mages.

A character can achieve a maximum of 5 levels in the Force Mage prestige class.
