On Language and Research

This d20 fantasy supplement develops the scholarly side of the wizard, focusing on forgotten languages, ancient texts, and the recovery of lost magical knowledge. It provides rules for using multiple magical languages, experimenting with spells and handling disastrous results, and researching spells incrementally. Old tomes, fragmentary scrolls, cryptic diagrams, and books of magical theory become sources of useful knowledge, while culture-based spell lists add variety to arcane traditions.
