MARVEL WIZARD

To be a wizard under this category one must have a minimum Psyche of GD (10) and must have some way of acquiring the spells from other realms or other mages or devices. The chart below is the advancement table for a wizard. To gain levels you must put Karma into this field. Once Karma is put into this field IT CAN NOT BE REMOVED. To cast the higher level spells, you must have a higher Psyche. Sixth level spells require an EX (20) Psyche, 7th = RM, 8th = IN, and for 9th lvl spells you must have an AM Psyche.

* If you are creating a character start off with the 4 talents; otherwise, spend 500 Karma to gain mystic origin and become a 1st lvl mage. The number of "powers" your character starts with determines your starting level. Example: you roll seven powers, you can start as a 7th level mage (at Judges discretion).

MAGE TALENT LIST
