A random concept I had. This class isn't complete enough for play, but provides a different view on magic.
Spellshaper
HD: d6
BAB: Poor
Arcana (Sp): A spellshaper has the ability to perform spell-like abilities known as arcana. Unless otherwise specified an arcana functions like a certain mundane action, except that he uses his Charisma score in place of his Strength score, and his Intelligence score in place of his Dexterity score. He has knowledge of a number of arcana equal to his class level, usable at will. He may change his known arcana whenever he gains a level.
Arcana Effects
The spellshaper constructs arcana by combining effects with a total level equal to half his spellshaper level or less (minimum 1). Some effects are marked as Base effects - each arcana must possess exactly one base effect.
