WHY?
With the Archivist, you can get divine casting from all 3 mental attributes, and yet, there is no wisdom based arcane caster! I figured I might as well try to even the playing field.
Right now, the class is largely a work in progress. I would appreciate any and all input, especially for class ability ideas for the PLACEHOLDER levels and the placement of existing class abilities. Fluff will come later. I was trying to balance around tier 3, but I have an odd feeling I failed miserably.

Spellcasting: An Intuimancer casts arcane spells which are drawn from the sorcerer/wizard spell list. An Intuimancer regains spell slots after 8 hours of rest. She casts spells as a sorcerer, following the spells known table above.
To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the Intuimancer must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an Intuimancer’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the Intuimancer's wisdom modifier. An Intuimancer gains bonus spells per day based on her Wisdom score.
School Study: An Intuimancer, as a result of his need to practice a spell over and over, can only add spells from 3 chosen schools, from Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, or Transmutation to his spells known list when he gains levels. These schools are chosen at first level, and cannot be changed. She may also add universal spells.
Bonus Feat: At 2nd, 6th, 11th, and 16th level, the Intuimancer may gain a bonus feat. They may choose from Skill Focus (Spellcraft), any metamagic feat, any item creation feat, Spell Penetration, Spell Mastery, and Spell Focus.
Mimic Potion: Whenever an Intuimancer drinks a potion of an arcane spell, she may make a Spellcraft check with DC 10 + (2*Spell Level). If she succeeds, she adds the spell the potion contained to her spells known list until she regains her spell slots. The potion is still consumed, and it has all of its normal effects.
Practiced Caster: An Intuimancer may cast spells of the indicated level as a supernatural ability. However, all costs of the spell must still be paid, including expensive material components and XP costs. She still retains the ability to cast them as normal spells.
Leech Spell Completion: Instead of casting the spell within an arcane spell completion item, an Intuimancer may make a Use magic Device check with DC 20 + Spell Level. If she succeeds, she may instead use the item to regain a spell slot of the level of the spell stored in the item. By doing so, the spell within the item is used up, and cannot be used for another purpose.
Mimic Spell Completion: Instead of casting the spell within an arcane spell completion item, an Intuimancer may make a Spellcraft check with DC 20 + (2*spell level). If she succeeds, she adds the spell contained in the item to her spells known list until she regains her spell slots. By doing so, the spell within the item is used up, and cannot be used for another purpose.
Mimic Spell Trigger: Instead of casting a spell within an arcane spell trigger item, an Intuimancer may make a Spellcraft check with DC 20 + (2*spell level). If she succeeds, she adds the spell contained in the item to her spells known list until she regains her spell slots. By doing so, she uses up one charge of the item and renders it completely inert until she regains her spell slots.
Leech Spell Trigger: Instead of casting the spell within an arcane spell completion item, an Intuimancer may make a Use magic Device check with DC 20 + Spell Level. If she succeeds, she may instead expend a number of charges up to her (class level/2) - 3. If she does, she may regain a spell slot of a level equal to the number of charges expended.
Skilled Caster: An Intuimancer can cast spells affected by metamagic without increasing the casting time.
Echo Caster: Whenever an Intuimancer sees an arcane spellcaster cast a spell, she may make a Spellcraft check with DC 10 + the other caster's caster level. If she succeeds, she may cast the spell as the other person did as if they had used the eschew materials spell. However, the Intuimancer uses her ability score and caster level for DCs and variable effects. Using this ability uses up a spell slot of the level of the spell echoed.
Mimic Caster: Whenever an Intuimancer successfully identifies an arcane spell through the use of a spellcraft check, she may add the spell to her spells known list for one minute.
Intuitive Casting: A number of times per day equal to her Wisdom modifier, an Intuimancer may use a standard action to study another arcane spellcaster. If she does, she adds all spells prepared (In the case of a prepared caster) or all spells known (for a spontaneous caster) by that creature to her spell list until she regains her spell slots.
So? Rip me apart! :3
