Alterer
You are a student of spells that modify energy and matter. To you, the world is not a fixed thing, but eminently mutable, and you delight in being an agent of change. You wield the raw stuff of creation and learn to alter both physical forms and mental qualities. Your magic gives you the tools to become a smith on reality’s forge.
Some alterers are tinkerers and pranksters, turning people into toads and transforming copper into silver for fun and occasional profit. Others pursue their magical studies with deadly seriousness, seeking the power of the gods to make and destroy worlds.
As a alterer, you are barred from conjuration magic, as well as one school of your choice. As such, you cannot learn or cast spells of these schools unless it is also of the school of alteration. Alternatively, you can choose three spell schools which are considered your forbidden schools. You cannot choose universal magic or alteration magic as forbidden schools.
Choose one common 1st-level Alteration spell from the Wizard spell list and add them to your spellbook for free.
In addition, whenever you gain access to a new level of spell slots from this class, you can add one Alteration spell from the Wizard spell list to your spellbook for free.
Additionally, the gold and time you must spend to copy an Alteration spell into your spellbook is halved.
You can temporarily alter the physical properties of one nonmagical object, changing it from one substance into another. You may use your action to perform a special alchemical procedure on one object composed entirely of wood, stone (but not a gemstone), iron, copper, or silver, transforming it into a different one of those materials. This transformation lasts for one hour unless you use your action to end it. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, and you regain your expended uses when you complete a long rest.
Additionally, you gain proficiency with alchemist’s supplies. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan’s tools of your choice.
You can spend 1 hour creating a alterer’s stone that stores alteration magic when you complete a long rest or during the long rest. When you create the stone, choose a number of benefits equal to your Proficiency Bonus (minimum one), though never exceeding your Intelligence modifier, from the following options:
Each time you cast a alteration spell of 1st level or higher, you can change one beneficial effect of your stone if the stone is on your person. If you create a new alterer’s stone, the previous one ceases to function.
If a creature holds your Alterer’s Stone when it shapeshifts into a different creature (such as by the Polymorph spell), and the carried Alterer’s Stone merges with the new form, the creature retains the ability to audibly speak languages known in its normal form (even if the form lacks mouth, tongue, teeth, lungs, etc.), and it may retain its mental stats (Int, Wis, Cha). The Alterer's Stone’s holder can gain the stone’s benefits as normal while the stone is merged into the new form as if the creature were carrying the stone.
Holding the Alterer’s Stone can also help a mute creature, whose race would normally be able to speak, to speak.
You add the polymorph spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. You can cast polymorph without expending a spell slot. When you do so, you can only target a willing creature and, if you target someone other than yourself, transform the target into a beast whose challenge rating is 1 or lower.
Once you cast polymorph in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest, though you can still cast it normally using an available spell slot.
You can use your action to consume the reserve of alteration magic stored within your Alterer’s Stone in a single burst. When you do so, choose one of the following effects. Your Alterer’s Stone is destroyed and can’t be remade until you finish a long rest.
