• Fire Bolt

  When Cantrip

  Fire Bolt is his favorite burst of decisive trouble, usually aimed at a problem that deserves a dramatic solution.

• Mage Armor

  When 1/Long Rest from Magic Initiate or a spell slot

  Mage Armor wraps him in a shimmering field of scholarly force, turning study into defense.

• Shield

  When Reaction

  Shield snaps into being when danger surprises him, reflecting his habit of turning panic into principle.

• Magic Missile

  When Spell slot

  Magic Missile is his reliable answer when certainty matters more than spectacle.

• SpellcastingLevel 1

  You cast wizard spells from your spellbook. You prepare 7 level 1 or higher spells after each Long Rest, choosing from your spellbook. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability. You also know 4 wizard cantrips.

• Ritual AdeptLevel 1

  You can cast Wizard ritual spells from your spellbook as rituals if the spells have the Ritual tag, even if they are not prepared.

• Arcane RecoveryLevel 1

  After a Short Rest, you can regain expended spell slots totaling no more than 2 levels, and none of the slots can be 3rd level or higher.

• Wizard SubclassLevel 3

  At 3rd level you choose a Wizard subclass. Goffle follows the School of Evocation, focusing on forceful, precise spellcraft.

• Evocation SavantLevel 3

  You choose two Evocation spells of level 2 or lower and add them to your spellbook for free. Each time you gain access to a new spell slot level, you can add one Evocation spell of that level to your spellbook for free.

• Potent CantripLevel 3

  Your damaging cantrips are kinder to allies and nastier to foes. When you cast a damaging cantrip, creatures that would normally take half damage on a successful save still take some of the spell's force.

• Ability Score ImprovementLevel 4

  At 4th level you gain an Ability Score Improvement or a feat of your choice for which you qualify. Goffle's recorded scores are unchanged here, reflecting his decision to deepen study rather than alter his core aptitudes.
