-Your spellcasting attribute is Wisdom, regardless of your Discipline of Magic.  Choose a single Power 1 spell from your Discipline of Magic, and add it to the list of spells you know.  This spell is your Signature Spell;  you never pay any mana to cast it, unless you choose to Overcharge it.
-Choose five additional Power 1 spells and two Power 2 spells from your chosen Discipline of Magic, and add them to the list of spells you know.
-Whenever you increase your Spellcasting skill training ranks, you may choose one additional spell from your Discipline of Magic, and add it to the list of spells you know.  The chosen spell cannot have a Power higher than the number of training ranks you have in your Spellcasting skill.
-==== Mana ====
-Like all spellcasters, you cast your spells using **mana**.  The maximum mana that you can have is equal to your level plus the number of training ranks you have in your Spellcasting skill.  You recover an amount of mana equal to your level whenever you complete a short rest.
-If you select a spellcasting base class, you use its mana rules in place of these.
