Class Features

Proficiencies: The black mage is proficient no armor but simple weapons and scythes. A blackmage suffers from arcane spell failure and must have at least a single free hand. Quarterstaffs, scythes and caster weapons do not break this condition.

Spellcasting: The black mage can cast arcane spells and some divine spells. He has a restricted spell list: All conjuration, divination and universal spells from the wizard spell list and all necromancy spells from either the cleric or the wizards spell list and all wizard spells with the [darkness] descriptor. A black mage can choose any one additional school. The black mage casts and prepares spells as a wizard. He requires eight hours of rest to refresh his spells. His sole casting stat is Intelligence.

Tainted Clinging: The blackmage receives +4 caster level to compute the duration of a spell or when someone tries to dispel one of your spell effects. This ability only works for summoning and spells that cause negative status effects, such as fear.

When the blackmage harmed a creature with a melee or melee touch attack, she receives -2 to saving throws versus your next spell. When the blackmages uses chopping spell, the spell counts as next spell for this purpose.

Principles of the Dark Arts: The black mages makes himself more vulnerable to receive +2 caster level until the start of his next turn. Doing so is a free action in which the black mage inflicts himself one point of damage per character level. All damage he takes during that time is considered vile damage. When using to cast a spell that lasts for more then one round, the spell still receives the bonus after the end of the round.

Vile Damage: Damage with the vile descriptor is subject to the same damage reductions and resistance as its original type. When you took vile damage within the last 24h, you emit an evil aura and count as evil creature for the 24h or until healed whichever comes first. Vile damage cannot be healed by positive energy. While novices suffer the aftermath for days, experienced Blackmages usually heal through the use of life leech or negative energy effects through the Desecrate spell.

Pest: When an enemy is under the effect of one of your spells and fails on a saving throw of one of your spells, the duration of your spell is set to its maximum duration.

Fell Knowledge: The black mage gains an untyped +4 bonus to skill checks for incantations and +2 caster level for the creation of magic items. In addition, he counts as having any spell on his spell list, if a wizard or cleric of his level would have it, for item creation and for using scrolls and wands.

All attributes of your minions are heightened by 4.

Capstone SLA: The black mage gains the ability to cast a particular spell as an SLA 1/day, as appropriate for his archetype. His caster level is equal to his hit dice, and the DC of the spell, if applicable, is based on his Intelligence modifier.

Feats: Academic Knowledge, Bolstered Enchantments

Moderate Archetype Power: Anytime a hyperborean deals damage to an opponent with a [cold] spell the opponent receives a fortitude saving throw or is slowed for one turn. If the spell has already a fortitude saving throw it is shared. A successful save protects the creature from other attempts for one turn.

Eldritch spell weave: A Eldritch spell woven blast delivers a touch ability with a successful attack using the eldritch blast.
