SPECIAL ABILITIES

Cypher Lore

The cyphermage has mastered written magic such as scrolls, glyphs, and symbols, and has discovered ancient magics that further bolster her power.

Defensive Scrollcaster (Ex)

The cyphermage gains a +4 bonus on concentration checks to cast defensively when casting spells from scrolls.

Enhance Scroll (Su)

As a swift action once per day, the cyphermage can cause any scroll spell she reads to function using her caster level rather than the scroll’s caster level.

Focused Scroll (Su)

As a swift action once per day, the cyphermage can add a +10 bonus on any caster level checks made with a scroll spell, including checks to overcome SR.

Swift Scroll (Ex)

The cyphermage does not provoke attacks of opportunity when retrieving a stored scroll. If the cyphermage moves at least 10 feet, she may retrieve a scroll as a free action as part of her move.

NEW FEATS

Cypher Magic

The cyphermage has the Cypher Magic feat. The cyphermage casts spells from scrolls as 1 caster level higher than the scroll’s caster level, even scrolls she created (all listed scrolls). Additionally, she gains a +2 bonus on caster level checks to activate a scroll that has a higher caster level than her own.
