The Red Wizards are the masters of Thay, the conquerors of
that land's native Rashemi, and the would-be magical overlords of
Faerun. They focus on a school of magic more intently than any
specialist, achieving incredible mastery of magic within a very narrow
focus. Seen as cruel and evil tyrants by people across Toril, a few
choose to leave their region, assume secret identities, and practice
magic without having to worry about political alliances and possible
slave uprisings. Early in their careers, would-be Red Wizards
specialize in a school of magic and acquire the Tattoo Focus feat that
prepares them for entry into the Red Wizards of Thay. All Red Wizards
have some skill as a specialist wizard, and most follow that path
exclusively, but a few dabble in other sorts of learning, such as
combat or divine magic. While it is possible for a sorcerer or a bard
to become a Red Wizard, such misfits are ridiculed in their homeland
and are incredibly rare.

spells per day as if he had also gained a level in his highest caster

through his abilities. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a
character of that class would have gained (e.g., improved familiar,
bonus feats).
