Mild Mage gets half as many spell slots but all their spells always work at maximum effectiveness. No saves. Max Rolls. Dominate that elemental every time. They just work.

They must allocate a portion of their precious few spell slots to the Mild Surge at all times, because staying hydrated is important. Gotta think about your health when you've got a long life ahead of you.
On a mechanical level, this would be really, ludicrously, broken. The tradeoff of saving throws for powerful effects against more reliable but weaker effects is just too strongly built into the spell system.
They have 3 level 1 spell slots. 2 must be used for Mild Surges and 1 can be used to slay a bronze dragon.
Mild Mages who neglect this spell have been known to become Fallen Mild Mages, who lose all the benefits of their Mild Mage class but still have the reduced spell slots.
Kit Disadvantages:
- Can only stomache tasteless or mildly flavored food.
- Suffers a -4 Saving Throw penalty vs. Breath Weapon. Garlic breathes in particular.
If you react any more strongly than that you are no longer eligible to the Mild Mage Class.
