Wild Mage Overview

The Wild Mage taps into the inherent instability of magic, standing on the knife's edge between the greatest possible power and an uncontrollable surge of magic. As such they trade the stability of their spells in exchange for the ability to boost their spells significantly above normal in effectiveness.

Ranks

1 - Caster Level & Damage Dice Bonus: -2 ~ +3 (-3 +1d6), 15% Chance of Harmful Wild Surge

2 - Caster Level & Damage Dice Bonus: -3 ~ +6 (-4 + 1d10), DC Range -1 ~ +1 (-3 + 2d2), 10% Chance of Harmful Wild Surge

3 - Caster Level & Damage Dice Bonus: -4 ~ +15(-5 + 1d20), DC Range -2 ~ +3 (-3 + 1d6), 5% Chance of Wild Surge

Example computation of caster level and damage: A level 20 mage with AMS Rank 3 casts a fireball. Depending on the Caster Level Bonus roll, their caster level will range from 16 [20 - 4] to 35 [20 + 15]. The damage dice of the fireball will range from 6d6 [10d6 - 4 dice] to 25d6 [10d6 + 15 dice], HOWEVER, bonus damage is capped at Caster Level Bonus x 5%, so the total damage of the fireball will range from a minimum of 8d6 [10d6 base damage*(100% - 4 CLS * 5%)] to a maximum of 18d6 [10d6 base damage*(100% + 15 CLS * 5%)]. So on Damage Dice Bonus rolls 9-15, the damage dice are actually capped at 8.
