Ship Spells

Ships outfitted with spell foci may cast spells using the Cast Spell action. Ships may only cast spells from the pool of spells in its spell focus. Each spell focus contains a pool of "prepared" spells that are consumed when cast. These spells are only regenerated after a long rest. Ship spells, unlike spells cast by players, do not have levels. Neither do they require components or have schools. Any spell within an outfitted foci's spell pool can be cast by the outfitted ship, regardless of how powerful it is.   There are three types of spell foci, Arcane, Divine, and Occult. Each spell focus's spell pool can only contain spells from its category.   If an effect that damages the crew of a target ship would target a non-ship entity without a crew, it deals its damage directly to that entity instead a crew.   Some spells require concentration, and just like with player spells, this means that a foci cannot concentrate on multiple spells that require concentration at once. A ship does not need to make concentration checks, as the foci's concentration is far more durable than that of a mortal mind.   A ship's spell save DC is equal to 10 plus the ship's relevant ability modifier plus the ship's grade factor. The relevant ability modifier is intelligence for arcane spell foci, wisdom for divine spell foci, and charisma for occult spell foci.
