You can use your reactions to shield yourself with force when you are struck. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to create a magical ward that reduces that damage by 2d10 + your wizard level.

You can cast wizard spells using Intelligence as your spellcasting ability. You maintain a spellbook, prepare a number of wizard spells each day equal to your Intelligence modifier plus your wizard level, and can ritual cast any wizard spell you have in your spellbook if it has the ritual tag.

You regain some expended spell slots after a short rest. Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots whose combined levels are up to half your wizard level, rounded up, and recover them.

You have mastered the school of Evocation. Your evocation spells are safer for allies, and your destructive magic becomes harder to resist and more devastating when it matters most.

You can manipulate the shaping of your spells to protect allies from their effects. When you cast an evocation spell that forces other creatures you can see to make saving throws, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 + the spell's level, and those creatures automatically succeed on the save.

Beginning at 2nd level, the gold and time you must spend to copy an evocation spell into your spellbook is halved.

At 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you gain an Ability Score Improvement or a feat.

You can expend a spell slot to regain the ability to cast additional evocation magic in the middle of a fight. When you cast an evocation spell of 1st level or higher, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of that spell.

Your evocation cantrip damage remains effective even on a successful saving throw. When a creature succeeds on a saving throw against one of your damaging cantrips, it still takes half the cantrip's damage if the cantrip normally deals half damage on a successful save.

Your mastery of raw force lets one of your spells hit impossibly hard. When you cast a wizard evocation spell of 1st level or higher, you can turn one damage roll of the spell into maximum damage instead of rolling.

You can cast certain spells without expending spell slots. Choose two 1st-level wizard spells and one 2nd-level wizard spell in your spellbook that you can cast at their lowest level. You can cast the chosen spells at will without using spell slots.

Your signature spells can be cast freely between rests. Choose two 3rd-level wizard spells in your spellbook as signature spells. You always have them prepared, and you can each cast them once at their base level without expending a spell slot. You regain both uses when you finish a long rest.

Wherever Sigmund travels, those who respect rank, titles, and pedigree are inclined to treat him as one of their own. He can usually secure an audience, shelter, or introductions among the wellborn, at least until his reputation turns the conversation sour.
