'''Effect:'''
 
You create the illusion of a creature of your level or less (it is permissible to level up lower-level creatures).
 
* You cannot create spectral leader, minion, elite, or solo monsters.
 
*It acts only as you direct. Making it take an action costs you the same kind of action (standard/move/minor). You must have line of sight (but not line of effect) to direct the actions of a projected creature.
 
*The projected creature has no hit points. Any damage it takes is converted to psychic damage and transferred to you. You can choose not to transfer the damage of an attack, in which case the Projected Creature disappears immediately.
 
* It does not die, it simply disappears. Any effects based on the death of another creature, such as the warlock’s curses, does not trigger when an projected creature is defeated.
 
* All the damage it does is converted to psychic damage after passing damage resistance or vulnerability. Apply resistance and vulnerability to both psychic damage and the attack’s apparent damage to the damage it inflicts, applying resistance/vulnerability to psychic damage last.
 
* Any character trying to interact with it can make an Insight check against your Will defense as a standard action; on a success it disappears.
 
'''Sustain Special''': If you don't spend any actions on the projected creature, it disappears at the end of your turn.

4ED&D 4E
4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons

Arcane Implement Mastery

Wand of Accuracy: If used with a spell that affects multiple targets, the attack bonus applies to all of them.

Options

Comment: Wizard variants are very much open to debate and might only apply in some campaigns.

Cumulative Spellbook (Wizard Variant)

In this variant, you only begin knowing one daily and utility spell each time you gain a new one. You have to quire and scribe new spells into your spellbook, most often by capturing the spellbooks of other wizards. The market price of a wizard spell is 1/5 the cost of a magic item of the same level as the power, but they are only rarely available for sale.

Spontaneous Spellcaster (Wizard Variant)

Your magic is more an inborn talent than something you’ve studied 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.
