weaving them together to form spells of incredible power.
Archmages are the undisputed masters of magic. There is little
they do not understand about the arcane arts, and what little they
don’t know could only be understood by an archmage anyway.
Archmages manipulate cosmic forces of extraordinary power with
the precision of a surgeon. Every word, every inscription, every
strand of magic follows the command of an archmage perfectly.To
these spellcasters, knowledge isn’t just power—it’s the only thing
that truly matters.
PREREQUISITES
The career of wizards is marked by breakthroughs. Yet as their
understanding of magic grows, their arcane power inevitably
reaches its limits. Most never even get that far, whether from a lack
of talent, a lack of effort, or an untimely demise. But for some, the
hunger for knowledge never ceases as they explore every option,
technique, and piece of magical lore they can get their hands on.
To call it an obsession is an understatement—it is a way of life.
To follow the path of an archmage is to apply genius-level
intellect to uncovering the secrets of magic. Woe to any
who stand in their way, for an archmage’s power
unleashed is a precisely calculated solution to
any problem.
To advance as an archmage,
you must meet the following
prerequisites (in addition to
the multiclassing requirements
for your existing class):
• Wizard Level 20 – Only
a wizard of great intellect
and knowledge has the skills
necessary to master the ways
of magic. Those attempting

• Slay an Epic Foe – At the DM’s

the greatest threat you have ever faced and
represent a tremendous achievement in your
adventuring career. DMs are encouraged to make
this foe a creature of great power that pushes your
character to its limits. The creature need not be defeated
single-handedly but should always be of considerable
challenge.

You make a melee spell attack to afflict a creature within reach
with horrifying visions of inconceivable malevolence that shatter

gains 3 levels of the traumatized condition. This condition is
special and cannot be removed by non-Deific effects other than
the means presented in this spell. At the end of each of the
