Siphoner

---

Overview & Creation

Similar to Sorcerers, Siphoners are born with their abilities though they struggle to control them. A child discovered to be a Siphoner is quickly whisked into one of the many orders across the land to be trained in how to both effectively and ethically use their powers. A Siphoner does not keep their magic within them, instead they draw from either the natural forces around them or use other magic users or magic items to focus their spells. Because of this, many siphoners are treated much like monsters and those outside of the established orders are treated with distrust or outright hostility.

Spellcasting

Spellcasting You have learned to take the energy of the world and reshape it how you please. Your spells are part of your vast repertoire, magic that you can tune to different situations. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting. Cantrips   You know two cantrips of your choice from the siphoner spell list. You learn additional siphoner cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Shiponer table. Spell Slots   The Siphoner table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your siphoner spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.   For example, if you know the 1st-level spell cure wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast cure wounds using either slot.   Preparing and Casting Spells The Siphoner table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your siphoner spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.   You prepare the list of siphoner spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the siphoner spell list. When you do so, choose a number of siphoner spells equal to your Constitution modifier + your siphoner level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.   For example, if you are a 3rd-level siphoner, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Constitution of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.   You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of siphoner spells requires time spent in meditation. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier   Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier Ritual Casting   You can cast any siphoner spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have it prepared. Spellcasting Focus   You can use any magic item as a spellcasting focus for your siphoner spells.
