Empowered Evocation

Empowered Evocation is an Evocation School Wizard passive feature that increases the damage of your Evocation spells by your Intelligence modifier.

Description

Your grasp of Evocation magic has tightened, and you can add your Intelligence Modifier to damage rolls with any Evocation spells.

How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 10: Evocation

Used by creatures: Elminster, Illithid Arcanist, Lorroakan, and Weary Traveler

Notes

• This damage bonus applies to each instance of a spell's damage, making it extremely effective with spells such as Magic Missile, Scorching Ray, and Curriculum of Strategy: Artistry of War.
• This damage bonus applies to all Evocation spells, even if the spell was not learned via the Wizard class. For example, casting  Burning Hands learned via the Sorcerer class will still add the caster's Intelligence Modifier to the damage, despite using the caster's Charisma Modifier for its Spell Save DC.
• Because the description states "spells" and not "leveled spells", the damage bonus applies to damage-dealing Evocation cantrips as well, such as  Fire Bolt,  Shocking Grasp, and  Eldritch Blast. In the case of Eldritch Blast, the caster's Intelligence Modifier is added to each beam.
