Elven Sage of the Shimmering Sky
Elven Sage of the Shimmering Sky is a prestige class for the wizard.
The Sages are a group of Elven Wizards from Evermeet that have studied colors so intensively that they've learned to create wardings imbued with the colors of the natural phenomona that adorn the skies.They do so by using their paintbrushes as a focus for the colors(similar to the wizard's use of a wand), essentially painting the warding with a simple brush stroke in the air.
Requirements: Because the Sages are so guarded with their knowledge the only ones given access to it are those Elves that have taken substitution levels in Elven Wizardry.
