The true pinnacle of wizardry and sorcery, the Archmage is a master of magic. They specialize in augmenting their existing spells; rather than learning new spells, they gain the power to shape his spells in new ways and become more versatile in their castings - even hurling raw magical energy directly at foes.
Note that Archmages no longer sacrifice spell slots for any of their abilities.

Archmage is locked at 5 levels.
Arcane Fire: The Archmage can call forth raw arcane energy to blast a foe. There is no limit to the number of times this may be used before resting. Damage is 5d6 + 2d6 per Archmage level. 1.5x DMG on a crit. Ignores Spell Resistance, but requires a successful ranged touch attack.
Spell Power: Increases the effective casting level of the Archmage, increasing the Archmage's caster level, spell penetration, and spell DCs by their spell power rank.
Spell Damage: Increases all damage done by an Archmage, stacks with all other Spell Damage Scaling.
Mastery of Shapes: Allows the archmage to cast spells without harming allies, such as fireball or mass hold person. Hellball is NOT affected by this feat.
