The new campaign i'm starting will use mythic manuals, i got a few complaints from a fighter regarding the ability Wild Arcana of the archmage:
"As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to cast any one arcane spell without expending a prepared spell or spell slot. The spell must be on one of your arcane class spell lists and must be of a level that you can cast with that arcane spellcasting class.
You don't need to have the spell prepared, nor does it need to be on your list of spells known. When casting a spell in this way, you treat your caster level as 2 levels higher for the purpose of any effect dependent on level. You can apply any metamagic feats you know to this spell, but its total adjusted level can't be greater than that of the highest-level arcane spell you can cast from that spellcasting class."
Basically he say that it's too powerfull and that it's unjust. I must admit that it seem too much, expecially if i take into consideration what non-caster class have.
He proposed an house rules that make the caster use 1 point for spells from 1 to 3 level, 2 point from 4 to 6 and 3 point from 7 to 9.
This don't seem bad and i'm thinking about it, what do you guys think?
Thanks in adavance for any advice.
I haven't played with the rules yet but I would lower the level of spells that can be cast, try one level below the max he can cast the bump it to 2 if it's still too strong. i think there are a lot of good spells level 1-3 that would be getting used for the one point option either way.
just my 2 cents
also are you letting him cast the spell for the swift action a always assumed that the swift action cost was for the ability and the spell still had to be cast as normal but haven't seen an official word
Paizo is planning an errata to Wild Arcana. It isn't official yet, but basically they are thinking of changing it into a standard action
Yeah free quicken is way too much I thought it gave you more versatility not made you a super mage at level one.
thanks for the advice!
I think i'll go on something like "you are considered 3 caster level below when choosing the spell" or similar.
I would say "this action is the type of the spell being cast" one round for one round spells, full round for full round, standard for standard and so on.

So would that mean you would need to spend one round activating the Wild Arcana ability (i.e. your standard action that round) and then the next round you are able to cast it?
I hope not.
