1st level: Magic Armory

You learn a ritual that creates a magical bond between yourself and an item, such as a set of tools, a weapon, a suit of armor, or a cloak. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The item must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the item and forge the bond. Once you have bonded an item to yourself, it can’t be removed from your person unless you are incapacitated, you choose to allow it, or it is removed by magical means. You can have two items bound to you in this way. You can bond an additional item at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level. If you attempt to bond with an item beyond your capacity, you must break one of your current bonds.

If a bonded item is on the same plane of existence or planet, you can summon the item as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to you. If the item is worn, you can choose to have it appear on your person as appropriate. If the item is instead wielded, and you have a free hand, you can choose to have the item appear in your hand. Otherwise, it appears at your feet. At 5th level, you can summon up to two of your bonded items in this way, and at 13th level, you can instead summon up to three of them.

At 9th level, you can use your bonus action to stow any number of your bonded items in your own personal pocket plane, provided you can reach them. You can summon your bonded items from this plane as if they were on the same plane of existence as you.

1st level: Charged Weapon

Choose one of the following damage types: acid, aether, cold, entropic, fire, kinetic, lightning, mental, necrotic, poison, sonic, or spiritual. At 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th, you can choose an additional damage type. At the end of a short or long rest, you can imbue one melee weapon within your reach with your magic. Once before the end of your next short or long rest, on your turn you can cause the weapon to magically erupt (no action required) in one of your chosen damage types. When you do so, for the next minute, your weapon deals an additional 1d4 damage of that type. This die changes as you gain Magus levels, as shown in the Spell Strike column of the Magus table.

Starting at 2nd level, when you cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action, you can channel it into your charged weapon, regardless of whether or not you’ve caused it to erupt. When you do so, the effects of the spell don’t occur immediately. Instead, the next time you hit with the weapon, the spell immediately takes effect. If the spell would affect an area, it does so as normal with you as its origin. If the spell would affect multiple creatures, the creature you hit is automatically affected, as if you had hit it with a spell attack or it had failed a saving throw to resist the spell’s effects. Any other creatures affected require attack rolls and saving throws, as appropriate. Your charged weapon can only hold one spell at a time, and it can only hold a spell for one hour, after which the spell dissipates without effect.

Beginning at 5th level, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your attacks to cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action into your charged weapon.

2nd level: Spellcasting (5/9)

As a scion of magic, you show the first glimmerings of your true power. Chapter 10 features the complete rules for casting, and appendix A features the list of arcanic spells available. Those features that vary by your class are featured here.

2nd level: Fighting Practice

You are practiced with a particular style of fighting. Choose one of the fighting practice options, detailed in Chapter 6.

3rd level: Sigilry

You have learned to conjure powerful magical sigils to aid your allies and hinder your enemies. As an action or bonus action, you can summon a sigil on a surface located within 30 feet of you that you can see. The sigil glows dimly to friendly creatures of your choice but is invisible to everyone else unless they have a special sense. Your sigil lasts for 1 minute. If you summon a new sigil, the previous sigil disappears. If you lose consciousness, your sigil ends. If a sigil effect or enhancement calls for a saving throw, it is made against your spell save DC. Your sigil has a diameter of 10 feet, which increases as higher levels, as shown in the Sigil Diameter column of the Magus table.

Additionally, you gain one sigil enhancement of your choice, as detailed at the end of the class description, and you gain more at higher levels, as shown in the Sigils Known column of the Magus table. When you summon your sigil, creatures within your sigil benefit—or suffer—from your sigil enhancement effects.

Lastly, you gain two sigil features—Consume Sigil and Sigilist’s Step—and you learn more at higher levels. In order to use your sigil features, you must be within 30 feet of your sigil.

If the spell required an attack roll, make an appropriate attack roll against the new target.
