Korovian Archmage
Unlike other prestige classes that specialize in one concept, the Korovian Archmage tends to “dabble deeply” into several topics: Item Creation, Scrying, and Alchemy. They also tend to have very good concentration from scrying and studying constantly. The Korovian Archmage is a expert at scrying and creating alchemical and magical items. Diviners often become Korovian Archmages, but it’s not a necessity.

Requirements: Ability to cast 3rd level arcane spells, Alchemy 8 ranks, and Concentration 8 ranks.

Spells per Day: When a new Korovian Archmage level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the Korovian Archmage prestige class.

If the character had more than one arcane spellcasting class, they must choose which one gains the bonus permanently.
