Wizards spend much of their lives seeking deeper truths, hunting knowledge as if it were life itself. The Wizard’s power is not necessarily the spells he wields; spells are merely the outward, most visible manifestation of that power. A Wizard’s true power is in his fierce intelligence, his dedication to his craft, and his ability to peel back the surface truths of reality to understand the fundamental underpinnings of existence. A Wizard spends much of his time researching spells, and would rather find an undiscovered library than a room full of gold. A Wizard need not be a reclusive bookworm, but he must have a burning curiosity for the unknown. Arcane discoveries are the results of this obsession with magic.

A Wizard can learn an arcane discovery in place of a regular feat or Wizard bonus feat.
