Spontaneous Spellcaster (Wizard Variant)

Your magic is more an inborn talent than something you’ve studies to achieve. You do not have or need a spellbook. You do not learn any free rituals or the Ritual Casting feat. You excel at Arcane Implement Mastery. If you master the orb, the effect applies to all targets of one use of one power, not just one target. If you select the staff, you can use any melee weapon (not just the staff) as an implement and to gain the AC bonus. If you select the Wand, the attack bonus applies to all targets until the end of your current turn. You cannot use a book as an implement.
