Ranger Spells

## Level Progression

### Spells

Learning Spells: The Ranger knows all Ranger spells of circles they have slots for.

Spell Preparation: Each dawn or dusk, if the Ranger did not prepare spells at the previous dusk or dawn, they may meditate for 30 minutes & make a Concentration check (DC 10 + 3x the highest {C} refreshed); the Ranger gains a +6 bonus on this check while in a natural setting, & a stacking +2 bonus for every additional 10 minutes they meditate. When complete, the Ranger refreshes their daily spell slots, then prepares a spell for each slot they have, up to that slot's circle.

Casting Spells: To cast a Ranger spell they have prepared, the Ranger must expend the spell's slot, also expending the action noted in the spell's Cast Time & providing its listed components.

Metamagic: While preparing spells, the Ranger may add the circle adjustment from a Metamagic feat they know to a spell's circle to determine the slot needed to prepare that spell; when casting a spell prepared this way, they apply the Metamagic feat's effects.

Divine Focus: Animal bone from the terrain that matches their Home Turf.
