Saves:
 Reflex: (Save = Phys + DEX)
 Fortitude: (Save = Phys + STR)
 Will: (Save = MND + LVL)

Magic: To determine what spells are available to each class please refer to their detailed class documents.
Casting:
 Spell Level: (Caster Level / 2 (round up))
The spell level a magic user can cast is equal or below 1/2 their class level, rounded up. The spell caster may only cast
spells of their current spell level or below.
 Casting Cost: (Cost = Spell Level * 2 + 1)
Casting a spell of any kind costs Hit Points. The cost is 1 + double the level of the spell being cast. This loss cannot be
healed normally but is recovered after 8+ hours rest.
 Signature Spells: (Cost = Spell Level * 2)
Choose spells that suit your character. Select one 'signature' spell, per spell level, from 1st Spell Level upward that they
prefer to use over any other. These spells are easier to cast due to familiarity, costing 1 less HP to use.
 Difficulty Class: (DC = 10 + Caster Level+MIND bonus)
Use this DC to check against for things like Reflex or Will saves vs. a spell’s effects. When casting a spell on an
unwilling target that target may get a Save which they will have to roll and check against your spell DC. Be sure to read
a spells description to see what save, if any, your targets may get and what happens if they fail a Save.
 Memorization:
There is no need to memorize spells in advance; casting is spontaneous for all casting classes. The trade off for this
benefit, and the superiority of magic in general, is the cost of Hit Points to cast spells.
Combat:
