Arcane Schools
Source Player Core pg. 198 2.0
Your arcane school is where you devoted yourself to the study of spellcraft. Whether you learned in the storied halls of a formal institution, via an apprenticeship with an archmage, or taught yourself from secondhand tomes, your arcane school indelibly set the curriculum and direction of your magic.
Curriculum Spells: You automatically add some of the spells listed in your school's curriculum to your spellbook. At 1st level, you add a cantrip and two 1st-rank spells of your choice. As soon as you gain the ability to cast wizard spells of a new rank, choose one of the spells from your curriculum of that rank to add to your spellbook. A superscript “U” indicates an uncommon spell. Your GM might allow you to swap or add other spells to your curriculum if they strongly fit the theme.
Spell Slots: Each day, you can prepare an extra cantrip from your curriculum. You also gain an extra spell slot at each spell rank for which you have wizard spell slots. You can prepare only spells from your school's curriculum in these extra slots. Any spell listed in your curriculum of a suitable spell rank is eligible to be prepared in each of these extra slots, regardless of how you added the spell to your spellbook.
School Spells: School spells are a type of focus spell. It costs 1 Focus Point to cast a focus spell, and you start with a focus pool of 1 Focus Point. You refill your focus pool during your daily preparations, and you can regain 1 Focus Point by spending 10 minutes using the Refocus activity to study your spellbook or conduct arcane research. Focus spells are automatically heightened to half your level rounded up, much like cantrips. Focus spells don't require spell slots, and you can't cast them using spell slots. Certain feats give you more focus spells. The maximum Focus Points your focus pool can hold is equal to the number of focus spells you have, but it can never be more than 3 points. The full rules for focus spells appear here.
You learn the initial school spell, which is unique to your school. You can learn the advanced school spell with the Advanced School Spell feat.
Red Mantis Magic SchoolUncommon Source Prey for Death pg. 99While any thug can commit a murder, proper assassination requires finesse and guile. Deep within the Crimson Citadel, the Red Mantis assassins have developed a specific selection of spells they teach to all magically capable members. These spells complement the assassins’ clandestine and deadly methods.

You may have studied in the military of a nation of the brink of war—Cheliax and Andoran perhaps, or Geb and Nex. You summon whirling energies that can lay waste to both soldiers and armies, while being sure not to neglect arcane countermeasures for common tactical complications or the shields and defenses that keep combatants alive on the battlefield.

Some are content to stay in place and let the world shape them, but you prefer to move at your own pace. You’ve studied the ancient aiudara and other structures to learn the magic of transposition, using your knowledge to move across great distances and even planes.

You deploy magic to help you see through the illusions and trickery of others. At the same time, you push boundaries and exploit loopholes to get ahead of your competitors.

Your curriculum is self- directed, allowing you to choose a branch of study and personalize your learning. If you choose the School of Rooted Wisdom, you gain the below curriculum and school spells.

Cascade Bearers
Cascade Bearers spend considerable time studying the qualities of magic itself as they seek to advance magical theory. They prize imagination and often bring a sense of playful curiosity to what would otherwise be intense inquiries at the borders of known magic. Of all the branches, these students are most likely to become teachers and to continue their research after graduation. In fact, some Cascade Bearers never leave the Magaambya, whether or not they attain an official teaching or research post. Their coursework draws broadly across the uses of magic, including attacking, protecting, manipulating objects, and seeing through matter.

Emerald Boughs value the societies and natural communities of the present day, seeking to understand the world as it is and how magic operates therein. Emphasizing camaraderie and sociality, these students tend to be the ones that most eagerly embrace the Magaambya's “practical magic” curriculum where they leave campus and work within communities. While some of these students have been accused of spying for the school, espionage is not an official part of their curriculum. Magic that can serve or sway others—as well as magic that reveals knowledge or allows access to it—is, instead, at the heart of this curriculum.

Rain-Scribes, who seek to explore the world and especially its unknown corners, draw the closest of all the branches to primal magic in their study of the arcane. They also embrace the “practical magic” schooling that takes them off of campus, often into the wilds of the Mwangi Expanse but sometimes beyond to other continents on Golarion or even onto distant planes. Their course of magical study includes connecting with and understanding nature, working with the elements, summoning animals, and providing for their own survival.

Tempest-Sun Mages prize physical courage as well as intellectual bravery. They feel called to defend against threats of all kinds, from tyranny and invasion to intellectual subversion and bullying. Generally having a keen sense of justice, they stand up for the downtrodden and step up whenever danger presents itself. Their classes often feature heated debates that occasionally spill over into rivalries and duels outside of class. Seeing themselves as the direct heirs to the power that the Ten Magic Warriors used to transform the world, Tempest- Sun Mages tend to see magic as a fundamental power in the service of a larger purpose to extend justice and create a better world, focusing on magic that invokes the power of the sun and strengthens their own resolve.

Uzunjati are perhaps the most iconic Magaambyans, and certainly the best known beyond the Mwangi Expanse, because they are the storytellers who roam across Golarion gathering knowledge embedded in oral traditions and folklore. While they often travel as widely as Rain-Scribes, their focus is substantially different, for their exploration is always in service to collecting and preserving the spoken knowledge of community and culture. In addition to the magic of their own stories, they emphasize magic that protects and that affects others' minds.

phantasmagoriaSource Rival Academies pg. 114This curriculum, taught at a few select academies in New Thassilon, can be learned only by wizards with the
runelord class archetype. You have begun to study one of the seven runes of sin, granting you great power but at the cost of anathematic magic. All runelords gain the below curriculum and school spells. In addition, you must choose one of the seven sins to specialize in. You add your sin’s spells and initial school spells to your curriculum. The addictive nature of sin magic prevents you from using magic in ways aligned with other sins, represented by that sin’s anathema. Casting a sin spell never invokes the anathema of its school of sin.
Unlike other wizards, some of your curriculum spells may be spells that don’t typically appear on the arcane spell list (marked with an asterisk). You still cast these spells as arcane spells, the unifying knowledge of sin bridging the gap between disparate magics.

Indulging in sin is a topic where players might have varying levels of comfort. There are typically many ways to indulge in your character's sin, with some versions (such as meditating on the sin and allowing it to fill your heart or creating art that thematically extols it) that can be portrayed less explicitly. As with anyother act in the game, keep to the
Pathfinder Baseline or whatever other guidelines you've discussed with your group in advance.

Your study of magic in the service of rediscovering lost knowledge for the Sarkoris Reclamation has taught you that much that was once lost can still be found, but only if someone is willing to seek it out and retrieve it. You've focused your magic on reaching the world's hidden and forgotten places, whether they are found in a distant ruin or the depths of a lost memory, and bringing their knowledge back to the surface—whatever the cost.

unsettling knowledgeSource Player Core pg. 200 2.0You eschew the idea that magic can be neatly expressed by the teachings of any single school or college, instead directing your self-study to pick up the best of every school of magic. In doing so, you'll find the truths that lie at the intersection of each school, coming closer to the ideal nature of arcane magic. One day, you'll uncover that single elegant theory detailing all magic (perhaps a theory bearing your name?), but until then, your studies continue.
No Curriculum You don't have a set curriculum, and so you don't have curriculum spells and can't benefit from abilities that specifically affect them. Instead, you gain an additional 1st-level wizard class feat, and you add one 1st- rank spell of your choice to your spellbook to represent your diverse studies.
Your studies into the very nature of magic itself have let you use it more efficiently—instead of using Drain Bonded Item only once per day, you can use it once per day for each rank of spell you can cast, recalling a spell of that rank each time.
