There is no limit to the number of spells available per day, but each casting causes 2 HP of subdual damage for every 5 full points of the DC (so the above spell would cause 10 points of subdual damage).

The casting check is a d20 roll plus the caster's class level, plus his Charisma bonus. For example, the caster may choose an effect of Raw Damage (DC 10), an area of Cone (DC +5), a range of Close (DC +1) and a duration of 1 minute per level (DC + 10) for a total DC of 26. The system uses casting checks against a DC determined by the various spell elements chosen at the time of casting. There are two prestige classes mentioned - the Bloodcarver (who injures himself in order to focus the chaotic power) and the Doomringer (who combines necromancy and chaos magic, providing energy for the caster's magic by draining it from the dead). Class Abilities include things like Chaos Familiar (a familiar created out of chaotic energy - stronger than a 'static' familiar but with certain drawbacks) and Purge Chaos used to pull oneself back from the destructive Paths of Chaos mentioned below). It's similar to the standard Wizard, with an obvious alignment requirement of 'any chaotic'. The Chaos Mage is, of course, a character class. No wild surges, random effect tables or anything like that - the energy may be 'chaos', but the use of it is very controlled. Well, it's not Wild Magic - what Mongoose have done is written an entirely new magic system for D&D based on the concept of using raw chaotic energy to produce a desired effect. I assumed this right up until the moment my copy arrived in the mail and I opened up the book. When I first heard about this book, I assumed it was Wild Magic for 3E. It differs from its two predecessors, Necromancy and Demonology in that it rewrites the D&D magic system completely, dropping the Vancian standard (referred to by Mongoose as 'static' magic) for a more flexible, freeform system. Chaos Magic is much more powerful in the DC Universe than in the Marvel Universe.Chaos Magic is the third in Mongoose's Encyclopaedia Arcane series.A balanced wheel moving between life and death." It's the possibility of both, neither and everything in between. The improbable, impossible spark of life flaring up - that was chaos magic." She then continued, "Chaos magic is neither purely constructive nor destructive - it's not limited by good or evil. She stated, "The earliest primordial glint of cosmic understanding and happenstance. According to the Scarlet Witch, Chaos Magic is the oldest and the first form of magic.Under the tutelage of Agatha Harkness, Wanda later went on to learn to harness this mystic Chaos Energy as Chaos Magic (without knowing its true name at first) and use it for a variety of effects beyond the simple Hexes which she had innately performed with it previously. It was later revealed that he wanted to use Wanda as a "vessel" he could one day possess in order to come back to and reign over Earth's dimension, once she was a full-grown adult and reached her full potential. The newborn Wanda was touched by the hand of the degenerate Elder God Chthon, leaving her with a fraction of his power that allowed her to control Chaos Energy and alter reality itself beyond recognition. And there is no Chaos Magic." Ĭhthon was later sealed within Mount Wundagore, the eventual birthplace of Wanda Maximoff. However, Earth's mages gathered and ended his reign with a lie: They said "There is no God of Chaos. Long ago, the Elder God and Arch-Demon Chthon used Chaos Magic to rule the Earth as the "God of Chaos". This magic can manipulate, warp, and reconstruct the fabric of existence and reality to the user's very whims, and bring about total destruction to the cosmos. Chaos Magic is the name of a magic so powerful that it was thought to be non-existent by even the modern Sorcerer Supreme himself.
