Spell storing: The wizard has learned to store unused spellpower in such a way that he can carry over some of his unused power from one day to the next. For each spell storing level the character has (marked 1, 2, 3, and 4) the character may "save" one unused spell of the given level for the next day. For example, Marko the mage has spell storing 1 and 2, at the end of the day he has yet to cast any spells, and thus can "carry over" one level 1 spell memorized, and one level 2 spell memorized to the next day. He cant change the spell memorized in the slot, but he does gain it in addition to his normal slots for the day.

Improved saves: The Collegiate wizard is so familiar with the workings of magical spells and effects that he gains a +1 enhancement bonus to any one of his saves versus spells or spell like effects. These bonuses stack.

Spell focus: at 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, the character gains a bonus spell focus feat in any school of his choice.

Question on the Spell Storing:

Since wizards do not forget the spells they have prepared, what happens on day 2 if the wizard still hasn't cast any spells? Could I stay in town for a week and gain 7 spells of levels 1 through 4?

I doubt this is the intention, but there is nothing preventing this from the wording.

The spell storing ability is nice conceptually but needs tweaking mechanically.

I would just make it a bonus spell (as from high ability score) of a specified level, that way its not dependant on downtime/story considerations to be useful, if you do that you might also want to push it up a class level or two.

Additionaly, you might want to make the bonus spell focus feats also allow greater spell focus as a choice, just a suggestion.

Sorry, worded a little poorly, noits obviously not meant to give you a crapload of spells, just a max of one. It does say you can carry "one" over from the previous day, so if you had 3, you carry one over the next day you have 4, carry ONE of those over to the next day you have 4 again (3 your normal, plus the one carried over)

I'll word it more carefully, i can see how it could be interpreted different

Will do!
