Class Features

As a Spellblade, you gain the following class features:

Cantrips (0-Level Spells)

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the Spellblade spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional Spellblade cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Spellblade table.

Spell Slots

The Spellblade table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Spellblade spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these Spellblade spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Spellblade spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Spellblade table shows when you learn more sorcerer spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Spellblade spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Spellblade spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus, or any weapon with which you are proficient, as a Spellcasting Focus for your Spellblade Spells.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Spellblade spells. You use your Intelligence whenever a Spellblade spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an Spellblade spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

The Bulwark's Discipline

Arcane Nature

1st level Manasoul Spellblade Feature

As a Manasoul, magic is literally in your blood. You have resistance to Force damage.

Also, as a bonus action, you can use some of your essence to enchant any weapons you hold, allowing them to shoot out beams of damaging light, gaining the following properties while you hold it:

• It gleams with unearthly light, shedding bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet.
• It deals force damage instead of its normal damage type.
• If it is a melee weapon, its reach is increased by 10ft on your turn.

An affected weapon retains these properties for the next ten minutes, or it leaves your grasp, or if you end the effect as a free action.

Manasoul Spells

As a follower of the Manasoul Arcane Path, you learn the following spells at the following levels, they don't count against your total spells known, and they count as Spellblade spells for you.

As a bonus action, you can send a mote of arcane light to a point you can see within 30ft of you, remaining for 10 minutes and shedding bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet. If a creature enters this light, it is revealed you even if it was hidden, and you can use your reaction to cause the mote to detonate. The creature that triggered this reaction must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Spellblade DC. On a failed save, it takes force damage equal to 1d6 + half your Spellblade level, taking half as much damage on a success.

You may create a number of motes equal to your proficiency modifier, after which point you must complete a short or longer rest before you may do so again.

Each creature within 15ft of you must make a Dexterity Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC or take force damage equal to the result, taking half as much damage on a successful saving throw.

Starting at 14th level, you may add your intelligence modifier to the damage dealt by this feature.

When you use this ability and at the start of each of your turns, each creature within 10ft of you takes 1 force damage for each of your stored Resonance Die.

On a hit, a target takes force damage equal to the rolled result of your spent Resonance Dice.

Unnatural Reflexes
