| + | To learn or cast a spell, a red mage must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a red mage’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the red mage’s Intelligence modifier. Like other spellcasters, a red mage can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on the class progression table. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score. | ||

He also knows an additional 0th-level spell for each point of Intelligence bonus. Every time he levels up, he chooses two new red mage spells of any level he can cast and gains them as spells known. | ||
