=== Spellcasting ===
A Harper mage's training focuses on magic. Thus, when a character gains a new level of Harper mage, she gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in whatever arcane spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (metamagic or item creation feats, for example).
If a character had more than one arcane spellcasting class before she became a Harper mage, she must decide to which class she adds each level of Harper mage for purposes of determining spells per day when she adds the new level.

=== Harper's Knowledge ===
Like a bard, a Harper scout has a knack for picking up odds and ends of knowledge. This ability works exactly like the bardic knowledge ability of the bard class. If a Harper scout has bard levels, her Harper scout levels and bard levels stack for the purpose of using bardic knowledge.

=== Oghma's Insight ===
As lorekeepers, Harper mages develop a keen interest in many fields. The Harper mage gains a free Skill Focus feat in any one Lore skill.

=== Arcane Theory ===
At 2nd level, the Harper mage gains Skill Focus Spellcraft. This represents an introduction to theories of magic from other civilizations through study and preservation of old lore.

=== Mystra's Boon ===
Harper mages gain a +2 insight bonus on all saves against magical effects.

=== Specialist ===
At 5th level the Harper mage focuses his study on the spell school of his choice. The Harper Mage gains a Spell Focus feat.

For clarity, the Harper Mage gains any of the first tier Spell Focus feats on a pop up menu after taking their 5th Harper Mage level. This feature cannot be used to take Greater or Epic Spell Focus feats. Closing this menu without making a selection will not give you another chance to open it and select a feat, so careful what you click.
