Uncontrollable Magic Overload
Your magical power emerges from your entire body, expelling uncontrollable waves of energy around you.
Prerequisite: Able to learn and cast arcane spells without preparing them, Must know at least 5 spells with an elemental descriptor, and must have at least 3 levels of a Spellcaster class.
Effect: Each time you cast a spell (level 1 or higher) with an elemental descriptor (Fire, Electricity, Cold...etc), your body absorbs this instable energy and may expels it in a dazzling wave, wounding allies and enemies around you. You must roll a concentration check (DC = 20 + 5 x level of the spell), if you fail, you release a wave of energy that deals damage equal to twice the level of the casted spell and has a range of 5 ft +5 ft/5 caster levels (15 ft at level 10, 20 ft at level 15...etc). In addition to the damage, this uncontrolable energy can emit special effects depending on the elemental descriptor of the casted spell:
=> Acid : Your skin expels purple and corrosive vapors that slowly diffuse around you. Creatures around you in the area of effect are sickened for 1 round and have the right to a saving throw (Fortitude, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier) to not be sickened.
=> Air : Your body releases a light fog swirling around your waist. Your hair green slightly and floats in the breeze and you expel gusts of winds. Creatures around you in the area of effect are Blown Away for 1 round and have the right to a saving throw (Fortitude, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier) to not be Blown Away.
=> Cold : An icy aura emerges from your body. Your skin whitens, and your hair is covered with ice. The ambient temperature drops by 120 °F and creatures become slower as affected by the Slow spell effect. They have the right to a saving throw (Fortitude, DC = 15 + spell level + spell ability modifier). If they fail, they are slowed down.
=> Darkness : Your eyes are blushing and your skin is turning black. Dark volupts emanate from your body and the tone of your voice seems to be inhabited by a demonic force. A dark aura surrounds you and decreases the surrounding brightness. Creatures around you in the area of effect are affected by Aura Seal for 1 round and have the right to a saving throw (Will, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier) to not be affected by Aura Seal condition.
=> Earth : Your skin thickens, dries, and cracks. Your hair and nails look dull and gross. A cloud of fine dust and sand surrounds you. Creatures around you in the area of effect are Dazzled for 1 round and have the right to a saving throw (Fortitude, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier) to not be Dazzled.
=> Electricity : Your eyes become light blue and fill with electricity. Streams of electrical flow emerge from your body and emit a powerful electromagnetic field. Creatures around you in the area of effect are Stunned for 1 round and have the right to a saving throw (Reflex, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier) to not be Stunned.
=> Fire : A burning aura emerges from your body. Light smoke emanates from your nose and mouth, and your skin turns to scarlet. The ambient temperature rises by 120 °F and all creatures around you risk catching on fire. They have the right to a saving throw (Reflex, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier). If they fail, they catch fire. Each round they receive 1d6 fire damage, and have the right to a new saving throw to extinguish the fire.
=> Force : A vaporous silhouette of pure strength surrounds you, modeling each of your movements with an almost imperceptible force barrier, and releasing violents waves of force in all directions. Creatures around you in the area of effect are shaken for 1 round and have the right to a saving throw (Reflex, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier) to not be shaken.
=> Light : Your eyes are bursting with white light. Geometric lines light up on your skin and shine a piercing glow. Creatures around you in the area of effect are blinded for 1 round and have the right to a saving throw (Fortitude, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier) to not be blinded.
=> Sonic : A circular pink aura explodes violent sonic wave from your lungs. Creatures around you in the area of effect are deafened for 1 round and have the right to a saving throw (Fortitude, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier) to not be deafened.
=> Water : Your skin becomes pure and pearly, without the slightest imperfection. Your hair softens and shines with a shimmery glow. Creatures around you in the area of effect are fascinated by your beauty for 1 round and have the right to a saving throw (Will, DC = 15 + level of the spell + spell ability modifier) to not be fascinated.
