The Magician

Muting Counterspells: If a magician successfully counters a spell, the caster of the countered spell may not cast spells for one round unless he succeeds a caster level check versus 10 + the magicians caster level.

Borrowing Counterspelling: If a magician uses dispel magic on a summon, he may choose to overtake control of the summoned creature for 1 turn per level. To do so, he has to succeed on a dispel check versus the summoner.

Stealing Counterspelling: If dispelling a single beneficial spell with a duration, he can choose to gain its benefits for up to 1 turn per level. If the spells duration would normally wear off earlier, it still does.

Bonus Spells: An archmage learns two spells of his choice EVERY level. The chosen spells must be on his list.

Capstone SLA: Break Enchantment.

Lesser Archetype Power: An Archmage gains the ability to casts wizard spells from one additional school of his choice except the necromancy school. He learns another school every odd level.

Lesser Archetype Power: An Argent Savant has an always active mage hand as the 0 level spell, but the effective strength of the hand is the Argent Savants intelligence and its size is small and thus might be able to lift items with a higher weight than 5 pounds. Concentrating on that mage hand is a free action and does not break when taking damage. The argent savant may attack with this mage hand using the normal rules for fighting with a one handed weapon in melee. Only one hand at a time can be used that way.

Once per turn as a swift action when casting a force spell, the Argent Savant may choose a specific direction. When an any opponent fails a fortitude save the Argent Savant pushes the opponent by 1.5m per spell level in the specified direction. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Special: When you improve a spell that already pushes your opponent, the distance is added and targets that fail their saving throw provoke an attack of opportunity.

Moderate Archetype Power: An Argent Savant gains +4 bonus on attack rolls using mage hand and force spells. They deal two additional points per dice with force spells.

Furthermore, any strength score of a spell can be substituted by the Argent Savants intelligence modifier.

• 2: Lesser Celerity (PHBII), Nerveskitter (SpC)

Lesser Archetype Power: A chronomancer may perform initiative using his intelligence modifier instead of the dexterity modifier.

Additionally, a chronomancer has good reflex saving throws.

Moderate Archetype Power: A chronomancer may take a swift action at any time he could take an immediate action - however, he is still limited to one per turn.

The superior perception of time provides the chronomancer a +4 bonus to attack rolls.

When using lesser celerity, you are no more dazed until the end of your next turn, but solely lose your next move action (including the chance to perform a move action.)

Lesser Archetype Power: An enchanter may add +4 to all his Bluff, Diplomacy and Disguise checks versus opponents which are under the influence of one of his enchantment spells.

When casting an spell on an opponent in melee, attacks of opportunity, from anyone, are not provoked if the target fails their saving throw.

Moderate Archetype Power: If an enchanter is able to cast a spell of the enchantment school upon an opponent that is not hostile to the enchanter, or under gentleman's agreement, the DC of that spell increases by 2.

The duration of all enchantment spells with a duration longer than one single turn is heightened to the next duration type. Rounds → minutes → ten minutes → hours → days.

Greater Archetype Power: The enchanter can turn any enchantment spell that targets a single creature into a multi target spell which targets one creature per three caster levels. All have to be within 0m of each other. Furthermore, the enchanter may turn enchantment spells which target multiple creatures or an area into single target spells.

The Geomancer is a specialist in all earth descriptor spells.

Bonus Spells:

• 1:Fist of Stone (SpC), which provides an unnamed bonus to strength; Hail of Stone, without max cl (SpC)
• 2:Iron Skin (pfsrd), Soften Earth and Stone
• 3:Stone Shape, Weapon of Impact
• Capstone SLA:Stone Skin; Earthquake, medium range and 6m area of effect

Lesser Archetype Power: Spells and magic items that provide natural armor class or armor bonus, also provide the same number as bonus damage to slam attacks from the geomancer. Spells and magic items that provide enchantment bonus to slam attacks, also provide bonus to natural armor class of the geomancer.

Choose one spell with earth descriptor for each spell level you can cast, the spell does not expire while you are conscious.

Moderate Archetype Power: When a Geomancer takes damage, as an immediate action they may sacrifice spell slots to reduce the damage taken from this instance. The damage is reduced by 10 x the total sacrificed spell level, you may sacrifice up to one spell per spell level. When a Geomancer does not have any spell slots left, the damage is halved instead.

Greater Archetype Power: Whenever the Geomancer expends a spell slot, they can choose to create a devastating aftershock, during their next turn: When you decide to create an aftershock, count the number of expended spells until the aftershock is triggered and the counter resets. The Geomancer may expend additional spell slots for an increased effect. The total number of spell slots cannot exceed their level. The aftershock can be triggered by the geomancer during their next turn, otherwise takes place automatically at the end of their next turn. When the geomancer does a slam attack or casts an earth spell the aftershock bursts, dealing 1d6 points of damage per sacrificed spell level to everyone within 3m of the Geomancer and everyone within 3m of active geomancer earth spells. No target can be affected twice and creatures under the effect of earth spells can be excluded. A reflex save halves the damage. The aftershock ability counts as a spell-like ability and allows spell resistance.

Feats: None.

Bonus Spells:

• 1: Ice Slick, Winter's Chill (SpC), Ice armor
• 2: Creeping Cold (SpC), Snowball (Pf)
• 3: Arctic Haze (FB), Icelance (SpC)

Lesser Archetype Power: Attacks from the hyperborean and their summons deal 1d6 points of bonus cold damage at the first level which improves by 1d6 every odd level therafter.

Additionally, when the hyperborean prepares spells, instead of preparing a normal ice armor spell, he may touch an armor to prepare an ice armor spell that creates a copy of the touched armor. The armor type is kept. Armors have at least 4 points of base armor class and at most 4 points of base maximum dexterity modifier. Also the spells duration increases to 24h.

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.

The hyperborean ice armor cannot be destroyed and provides 4+the hyperboreans level points of fire and cold resistance. The hyperborean may use the ice armor spell on a target that already wears an armor to solely provide the resistances.

Greater Archetype Power: Enemies that have cold immunity are still affected by the hyperboreans spells and moderate archetype power. The hyperborean may also convert his cold damage to physical damage.

When the hyperborean copies an armor the enchantment bonus and special abilities can be copied. This only affects enchantment special qualities (those usually have an enchantment bonus equivalent or can be added for a specific amount of gold to any item), such as light fortification, but not unique abilities from special magic items.

Moderate Archetype Power: An illusionist may concentrate on a number of illusion spells equal to his charisma modifier as a free action and use any illusion as origin of his spells.

Additionally, the Illusionist gains a +2 on DCs when an opponent cannot perceive the illusionist.
