Drew up the Archmagister, one of Zephrine's two co-rulers in Tiamyra.

LORE BELOW:

Similar to how Zephrine rules the religious aspect of things in the Cathedral of Five Spires, Visaryn here rules the magic aspect, leading the Obsidian Spire. Together with the Sovereign(Raishi) and the Hierarch(Zephrine), they make up Tiamyra's rulers, collectively called the Triumverate.

Given that Tiamat rules at least partly over the domain of magic in Caerllon, mages are very highly respected within the nation's culture, and Visaryn here is no exception. The complex inner-workings and cutthroat politics of the Obsidian Spire has meant that Visaryn has had to be very cunning and resourceful to reach the top, and even moreso to remain there for as long as he has. He is both respected and feared, for good reason.

As a person he is both a brilliant and very serious man who doesn't suffer fools and has little time for those that interrupt his work, and even less time for those whose ambition exceeds their skill. He also isn't above turning someone into a potted plant should they draw his ire, which means most people aren't dumb enough to do so.

That said, if you earn his respect, he will do everything in his power(which is significant) to do right by you and is incredibly loyal once that loyalty has been earned.

Transmuter (Formerly School of Transmutation) (2024) (Homebrew)

This is my own take on School of Transmutation using the 2024 rules for Wizard. This post will be deleted if this subclass gets updated to 2024 rules. Changes are described at the end.

From: Player's Handbook (2014)

You are a student of spells that modify energy and matter. To you, the world is not a fixed thing, but eminently mutable, and you delight in being an agent of change. You wield the raw stuff of creation and learn to alter both physical forms and mental qualities. Your magic gives you the tools to become a smith on reality’s forge.

Some transmuters are tinkerers and pranksters, turning people into toads and transforming copper into silver for fun and occasional profit. Others pursue their magical studies with deadly seriousness, seeking the power of the gods to make and destroy worlds.

Level 3 Transmutation Savant: Choose two Transmutation spells from the Wizard spell list, each of which must be no higher than level 2, and add them to your spellbook for free.

In addition, whenever you gain access to a new level of spell slots in this class, you can add one Transmutation spell from the Wizard spell list to your spellbook for free.

Level 3 Minor Transmutation: As a Magic action, you can temporarily alter the physical properties nearby creatures, objects or surfaces, creating one of the following effects:

Difficult Terrain. Select a point you can see on the ground within 60 feet of you. The area in a 15 foot radius around that point becomes Difficult Terrain for 1 minute if it was normal terrain, or vice versa. 

Minor Alchemy. One object you touch composed entirely of wood, stone (but not a gemstone), iron, copper, or silver, is transformed into a different one of those materials for 1 hour. If the object is too large to be held in the palm of your hand, this process takes an additional 10 minutes for each cubic foot of material. 

Change Appearance. A willing creature you touch gains the ‘Change Appearance’ benefit of the Alter Self spell, without the need to Concentrate. You choose the target’s new appearance, and the target cannot change their appearance in the way the spell describes. 

Only one of these effects can be active at a time, the previous effect instantly ending if you use it again, or if you take a Bonus Action to end it. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Level 6 Transmuter's Stone: You can spend 8 hours (which can be over the course of a Long Rest) creating a special stone that stores transmutation magic, called a Transmuter’s Stone. You can benefit from the stone yourself or give it to another creature. A creature gains a benefit of your choice as long as the stone is in the creature’s possession. When you create the stone, choose the benefit from the following options:

Darkvision. Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet

Swift Movement. An increase to Speed of 10 feet.

Fortitude. Proficiency in Constitution saving throws

Energy Resistance. Resistance to Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage (your choice whenever you choose this benefit)

Each time you cast a Transmutation spell of level 1 or higher, you can change the effect of your stone if the stone is on your person. 

If you create a new Transmuter’s Stone, the previous one ceases to function.

Level 10 Shifting Forms: While you are Concentrating on a Transmutation spell, you can take a Magic action to change the nature of the spell’s transmutation to another that the spell offers. The change has the following effects and conditions:

Eligible Spells. The spell must be a Transmutation spell of level 1 or higher, and it must affect one or more creatures or objects, and not target an area. The spell must involve some element of choice in how its effects manifest. 

Same Targets. The targets of the spell must not change as a result of making this change. 

Hit Points. If the change would cause a creature’s Hit Points or Temporary Hit Points to change, they change to match that of the new form, unless the new form’s Hit Points or Temporary Hit Points are higher. 

Self Transmogrification. If you are the target of the spell, you can take this action even if your form would otherwise prevent you from doing so. 

For example, if you were Concentrating on Polymorph, you could use this action to change the target’s form from a Giant Eagle to a Riding Horse, or if you were Concentrating on Alter Self, you could change from having a Natural Weapon to an Aquatic Adaptation.

Level 14 Master Transmuter: As a Magic action, you can consume the reserve of transmutation magic stored within your transmuter’s stone in a single burst. When you do so, choose one of the following effects. Your Transmuter’s Stone is destroyed in the process. 

Major Transformation. You can transmute one non-magical object—no larger than a 5-foot Cube—into another non-magical object of similar size and mass and of equal or lesser value. You must spend 10 minutes handling the object to transform it.

Panacea. You remove all curses, diseases and poisons affecting a creature that you touch with the Transmuter’s Stone. You can also end the effects of a single spell affecting the creature of your choice. The creature also regains all its Hit Points.

Restore Life. You cast the Raise Dead spell on the corpse of a creature you touch with the Transmuter’s Stone, without expending a spell slot or needing to have the spell in your spellbook. The creature instantly regains all its Hit Points. 

Restore Youth. You touch the Transmuter’s Stone to a willing creature, and that creature’s apparent age is reduced by 3d10 years, to a minimum of 13 years. This effect doesn’t extend the creature’s lifespan.

Changes:

Updated Transmutation Savant to reflect 2024 Savant feature.

Minor Alchemy has been folded into a new, wider feature called Minor Transmutation. The feature now provides three options, Minor Alchemy, the ability to create/negate Difficult Terrain, and the ability to change someone’s appearance. The ability is limited to Int/LR. 

Minor Alchemy no longer requires Concentration, and if the object can be held in your hand it can be done as an action. 

The Transmuter’s Stone can now be created over the course of a Long Rest

Shapechanger has been replaced with Shifting Forms, which allows you to change the nature of your Transmutation spells as an action. 

Master Transmuter no longer has the restriction that the stone can’t be recreated until you finish a Long Rest, but it still takes 8 hours. 

The Panacea benefit now also ends a single spell. 

The Restore Life benefit now restores the creature’s Hit Points.
