Trigger A creature attacks or uses a spell or ability that would affect the eldritch emeritus
Effect A masterpiece of complex spellwork instantly takes shape, casting Fire Shield, Mislead, and Mountain Resilience on the eldritch emeritus, each as an 8th-rank arcane spell.
Didactic Arcanism (arcane, magical) — 1 to 3
Requirements The eldritch emeritus has seen a creature Cast a Spell of 7th rank or lower during the previous round, that spell takes between one and three actions to cast, and that spell is on the arcane spell list
Effect The eldritch emeritus mastered that spell 30 years ago, and is happy to show how a real master does it. The emeritus Casts the same Spell but heightened to 8th rank. Didactic Arcanism uses the same number of actions as the original spell took to cast.
Steady Spellcasting — If a reaction would disrupt the eldritch emeritus's spellcasting action, the eldritch emeritus attempts a DC 15 Flat. On a success, the action isn't disrupted
