Abominations Anathema (Combat)

Combat)
I cut Cthulhu.
Prerequisite: Black blade class feature.
Benefit: Your black blade can ignore 1 point of a
creatures damage reduction for every magus class level
you possess. So at 15th-level your black blade ignores 15
points of damage reduction. This ability does not apply
to object hardness unless that object is also a creature
such as a construct.

Abominations Bane (Combat)

Combat)
I christened my blade, Godslayer.
Prerequisites: Black blade class feature, ability to cast
6th level arcane spells, Abominations Anathema, base
attack bonus +12.
Benefit: Once per day, for 1 minute per your magus
level, the damage you deal with your black blade dispels
or suppresses any supernatural or spell-like effect that
heals hit point damage. The effect lasts for 1 hour. This
damage also cannot be healed normally (including
regeneration and fast healing). Magical healing will not
heal damage dealt by it until a specific type of creature
under a specific circumstance casts a spell that can
remove a bestow curse. These specific requirements are
subject to you and your GMs adjudication, chosen at the
time you take the feat. Once chosen, it cannot be
changed. Examples include a creature that is immune to
fear, a creature of the same species as you, or from the
same organization as you, a creature who has never
committed violence. Examples of circumstances include:
on the dawn of the third day, on the site of your birth, on
holy ground dedicated to the ethos of magi. A Heal or
Knowledge (arcana) check (DC 15 + your magus class
level) can be made to determine this requirement. This
is a supernatural necromantic-curse effect.

496076

Accursed Arcane Talent (General)

Do evil unto evil.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and hex arcana class
features, ability to cast 6th level arcane spells, base
attack bonus +12.
Benefit: Practitioners of the arcane greatly fear this
curse as it prohibits the use of their talents, experience,
and training. If you make a successful attack against a
creature with arcane spellcasting ability, arcane spelllike abilities with uses per day, or an arcane pool, you
may expend 1 point from your arcane pool. If you do,
your opponent must make a successful Will save (DC 10
+1/2 your magus level + your Int modifier) or suffer
from your curse. Your curse permanently affects your
opponent so that she cannot do one of the following
(chose one when you expend the point):

Cast arcane spells.

Use arcane spell-like abilities.
Expend points from her arcane pool.

If your opponent makes a successful save, she cannot be

affected by curses from this feat for 24 hours. Any spell
or effect that removes bestow curse eliminates the effect

Abominations Bane

blade class features.
Benefit: If you perform a special ritual (requiring 8
hours) and expend 1 point from your arcane pool, your
black blade can absorb half the total gold piece value of
any magical weapon that is part of the ritual. If it has
enough total value to enchant the black blade (per the
magic item creation cost rules), it can add the magical
properties of any weapon it has absorbed to your black
blade. For example, if you and your black blade came
across two +1 longswords you could absorb 1,000 gp
from each of them, and then use that 1,000 gp to
enchant your black blade with a +1 enchantment and
store the remaining 1,000 for later use. Then when you
later come across a +1 flaming longsword you could
absorb 4,000 gp from it and use that to enchant your
black blade with the flaming special quality or to
increase its enhancement bonus to +2 and store the
remaining 2,000 gp for later use (as you would still need
3,000 gp in value to make it a +2 flaming weapon).
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Blackblade Assimilation
Benefit: As a standard action, you may use a slashing

spells; one must have a range of touch and the other

Benefit: You can spend 2 point from your arcane pool
as a swift action to imbue your weapon with a black and
purple aura of negative energy that consumes the vitality
of any living creature you touch with it (you are
unaffected by your own consuming strike). If the
weapon strikes a creature within the next minute, it
discharges that aura and the subject suffers two points
of ability drain (the ability score is chosen by you). For
every 2 points of an ability score you successfully drain,
you gain 5 temporary hit points that last for 1 hour.
An undead creature touched by the effect gains 5
temporary hit points for 1 hour.

additional card and pick one of the three results.

magic using your maguss level as the caster level. Once

the strike is made, the power dissipates, even if the
dispel attempt is unsuccessful. A successful check
suppresses all the magical abilities of that one magic
item. For one hour per magus class level you possess,
the item has no magical power (although a magic sword
is still a sword and can be used as such). Artifacts are
immune to this effect.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Critical Site (Combat, Critical)

I sheathed my sword in his weakest point.

critical, you cannot gain the benefit of this feat against
the same opponent for 24 hours.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Devoted Burst (Combat)

(Combat)
My arcana conveyed the meaning of my dedication to
the enemy.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana
(devoted blade) class features, magus 12.
Benefit: Your weapon explodes with aligned energy
upon striking a successful critical hit. The aligned energy
does not harm you or anyone with the same alignment
as you. In addition to the extra aligned damage from the
devoted blade ability, a devoted burst weapon deals an
extra 1d10 points of aligned damage on a successful
critical hit. If the weapon's critical multiplier is 3, add
an extra 2d10 points of aligned damage instead, and if
the multiplier is 4, add an extra 3d10 points of aligned
damage.
Even if the devoted blade ability is not active, the

Diabolic Arcana (General)

I would be a student of Asmodeus.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool class feature.
Benefit: When you inflict the dead condition upon a
chaotic- or good-aligned creature via use of a melee
weapon attack or a magus touch spell while in the heat
of combat, you gain 4 points in your arcane pool.
Destroying an unattended object, slaying a helpless or
unaware creature, or slaying a creature that has fewer
Hit Dice than half your character level does not grant
you any arcane pool points. Any points above your
arcane pools maximum are lost.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites. Use of this feat,
subject to GM adjudication, slowly changes your
alignment to lawful evil.

Disorienting Strike (General)

I always seek to unbalance my opponent.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana, spellstrike
class features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 6 ranks,
base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: You can spend 1 point from your arcane pool
as a swift action to imbue your weapon with a migraineinducing aura of chaotic energy that can disorient a
creature you touch with it (you are unaffected by your
own disorienting strike). If the weapon strikes a creature
within the next minute, it discharges that aura, and the
subject must make a successful Will save (DC 10 +1/2
your magus class level + your Int modifier) or whenever
it moves, it must roll 1d8 to randomly determine (as a
grenade-like weapon) the direction it travels. This effect
lasts for one round per magus class level you possess. In
addition, it suffers a -2 circumstance penalty to initiative
checks, attack rolls, Acrobatics, Fly, Jump, Perception,
and Swim checks for the duration.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Diabolic Arcana
(arcana) or Spellcraft 11 ranks, base attack bonus +8.
Benefit: You can spend 6 points from your arcane pool
as a standard action, enveloping one of your hands or
one of your melee weapons with a black and purple
flame. You can then make a melee touch or melee
weapon attack as part of that standard action. If you hit
successfully, your opponent must make a successful
Fortitude save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class level +
your Int modifier) or you drain 1d6 points of Strength,
Dexterity, and Constitution from that opponent; these
ability score points are then added to your own totals as
an enhancement bonus for a duration of 1 round per
magus class level you possess. If the victim makes a
Fortitude save, you only drain 2 points of Constitution.
This works exactly as if you had cast a touch spell, such
as for holding the charge if you miss the attack roll, and
can be used with spell combat in place of casting a
standard action spell.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Disruptive Cannibalism (General)

He wanted me to have that.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana

by resurrection, or miracle. This is a necromantic death
effect.

You also select a number of additional magus spells with
the force descriptor equal to your Intelligence modifier
to add to your spellbook. At each new magus level, you
gain an additional new magus spell with the force
descriptor of any spell level or levels that you can cast

Exhausting Defense (General)

Attacking me was a tiring experience.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana, and spell

Force Maneuver (Combat)

I tripped him, pushed him back, threw sand in his
eyes, took his axe away, broke the dagger he drew,
dragged him to the fire pit, pinned him down into it, oh
and stole the wand off his belt.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and force athame class
features.
Benefit: You may, as a swift action, expend 1 point
from your arcane pool. Doing so alters a single melee
attack, focusing your skill with the eldritch forces to
make that attack a force maneuver (which takes a
standard action as usual). If your attack is successful,
you deal damage as normal and attempt to use force
magic to perform a combat maneuver (in a manner
similar to telekinesis). Resolve these attempts as
normal, except that they do not provoke attacks of
opportunity, you use your magus level in place of your
Combat Maneuver Bonus, and you can add your
Intelligence modifier in place of your Strength or
Dexterity modifier. No save is allowed against these
attempts, but spell resistance applies normally. Use your
magus class level as your caster level. This effect can last
1 round per magus class level you possess, but it ends if
you cease concentration.

property would deal +12 points of damage rather than
+2d6, including damaging effects that are only triggered
on a critical hit. This affects only the weapons magical
weapon properties, not additional damage from sneak
attack, spellstrike, or weapon damage critical hits. If you
confirm a critical hit, and instead spend 2 points from
your arcane pool using your perfect strike class feature
to increase your chosen weapons critical multiplier by 1,
you use the new multiple to calculate the magical
properties critical dice damage. For example, if the new
multiplier of a flaming burst weapon is 4, add an extra
+30 points of fire damage instead of 3d10 points of fire
damage).

level in place of your Combat Maneuver Bonus, and you
can add your Intelligence modifier in place of your
Strength or Dexterity modifier. If you are successful,
your opponent must make a successful Fortitude save
(DC 10 +1/2 your magus class level + your Int modifier)
or suffer damage equal to 10 points per magus class level
you possess. If the save is successful, your opponent
suffers 10d6 points of damage. The damage type
inflicted is the same as your chosen weapon. You may
use this feat only once per day.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

my wrath.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and hex magus class

Curse, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 19 ranks, base
attack bonus +14.
Benefit: The circumstance penalty of your hexcrafter

Eldritch power guides my blade.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and spellstrike class
features.
Benefit: Once per day as a free action you can expend 1
point from your arcane pool when you miss a spellstrike
or touch attack to gain a second roll on that same

ranged weapon attack. You may expend 1 or more points
from your arcane pool to cause the spell to arc to a
number of secondary opponents within 30 ft. equal to
the number of arcane pool points you expended
(maximum 20). If the original spell requires a ranged
attack roll, make a single roll and use this result for all
targets. If a target of this effect avoids its effects due to
spell resistance, a failed attack roll, or a successful save,
the spell does not arc to further targets.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Hellfire Strike (Combat)

Damn you to Hell!
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana (pool
strike) class features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 6

not deal hit point damage.

Hindering
Hindering Natural Strike (Combat)

Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so

long as you meet its prerequisites.

I took away claw, tooth and, tail.

Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana, spellstrike
class features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 6 ranks,
base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: You can spend 1 point from your arcane pool
as a swift action to imbue your weapon with a sickly
green aura of chaotic energy that can hinder the natural
attack of a creature you touch with it (you are unaffected
by your own disorienting strike). If the weapon strikes a
creature within the next minute, it discharges that aura,
and the subject must make a successful Will save (DC 10
+1/2 your magus class level + your Int modifier) or you
choose a single natural attack that creature possesses
and that creature cannot use the chosen natural attack
for 1 round per magus class level you possess. A creature
that makes a successful save against this ability is
immune to the effects of your use of this ability for 24
hours.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Hellfire
Half the damage from hellfire is fire damage, but the
other half results directly from unholy power and is
therefore not subject to being reduced by resistance to
fire-based attacks.
Any creature killed by this spell must make a Will saving
throw; failure means the creatures soul is damned to
Hell as a burst of brimstone appears around its corpse.
A non-evil spellcaster attempting to bring the character
back from the dead must make a caster level check (DC
equal to 10 plus the slain creatures level) to succeed;
failure means the spellcaster cannot try again for 1 day.
Evil spellcasters can raise the slain character normally,
without a check.

Hexcrafter's
Hexcrafter's Curse (General)

Improved Arcane Battoujutsu (Combat)

Suffer, for I have placed a curse upon you.

Prerequisites: Arcane pool and hex magus class
features.
Benefit: As a swift action, you can expend 1 point from
your arcane pool and unleash a special curse upon a foe.
The target must be visible to you and be within 60 feet.
The target of your hexcrafters curse takes a -2
circumstance penalty on attacks, saves, ability checks,
skill checks, and weapon damage rolls for 1 hour
thereafter. A successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your
magus class level + your Int modifier) negates the effect.
If an opponent makes a successful save, it cannot be
affected by your hexcrafters curse for 24 hours. Any
spell or effect that removes bestow curse eliminates the
effect of a hexcrafters curse.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

"There was a blur, and then some blood. I never saw

him draw."
Prerequisites: Arcane pool, iaijutsu, and superior
reflexes class features, Weapon Focus, Arcane
Battoujutsu.

Hexcrafters Reciprocity (General)

You really shouldnt have done that.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and hex magus class
features, magus arcana (accursed strike), Knowledge
(arcana) or Spellcraft 12 ranks, base attack bonus +9.
Benefit: If an opponent attacks you with complete
success (you suffer full normal or critical damage from
the attack, and if a save is allowed, you fail that save),
you hex or curse them in retribution. As a free action
once per round, you may expend 1 point from your
arcane pool and unleash a hex, or curse spell or effect
you have access to via class features, feats, or spells
upon a foe that attacks you with complete success. If an
opponent makes a successful save against the hex or
curse generated by the feat it cannot be affected by your
Hexcrafters Reciprocity feat for 24 hours.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Improved Hexcrafters Curse (General)

And now, you will carry this curse to the end of your
days.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and hex magus class
features, Hexcrafters Curse, Knowledge (arcana) or
Spellcraft 5 ranks.
Benefit: The circumstance penalty your hexcrafter
curse inflicts increases by 2 (to a total of a -4
circumstance penalty). In addition, the duration of this
effect now becomes permanent.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

staff of bolstering. Since that staff uses a single charge

to cast one of a number of 2nd level spells, youd gain 2
arcane pool points. Your net gain in this case would be 1
arcane point.)
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

When I shoot, more than one will die."

Prerequisites: Arcane pool and ranged spellstrike
class features.
Benefit: When using your ranged spellstrike ability, if
that ranged weapon attack strikes its target (object or
creature), you may expend 1 point from your arcane pool
to cause that spell to arc to a single secondary target; the
target must be an opponent within 30 feet, otherwise it
has no effect. This requires a ranged attack roll. If the
target of your ranged spellstrike avoids the spells effects
due to spell resistance, a failed attack roll, or a
successful save, the spell does not arc to the secondary
target.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Item Bane (General)

His sword was the true peril so I suppressed its
eldritch force.
Prerequisites: Arcane bond, arcane pool, master
smith and spellstrike class features, ability to cast dispel
magic.
Benefit: You can expend 1 point from your arcane pool
as a free action and deliver a special targeted dispel
magic through your arcane bonded weapon as part of a
melee attack. If successful, this melee attack deals its
normal damage as well as the effects of a targeted dispel
magic that must target an object. If you make this attack
in concert with spell combat, this melee attack takes all
the penalties accrued by spell combat melee attacks. You
cannot use this feat in concert with spellstrike.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Insane Immunity (General)

If I continue to possess it, I will be possessed or I can
let it drive me insane.
Prerequisite: Black blade class feature.
Benefit: You and your GM choose and agree on a
madness affliction when you select this feat. When you
are subject to a confused, dazed, fascinated, or stunned
condition; or a charm or compulsion spell or effect,
including domination by the ego of an intelligent item
(such as your black blade); or subject to a different
madness affliction; you are instead inflicted with the
instantaneous effects of the chosen madness affliction
for the duration of the condition, spell, or effect.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Item Savant (General)

I know this item like I know my own hand.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana (rod
mastery or wand mastery) class features.
Benefit: If you have at least 1 point in your arcane pool
you may make the saving throw DC of a magic item you
use equal to 10 +1/2 your magus class level + your Int
modifier. If a magic items ability requires a standard
action to activate you can, once per day, expend 4 points
from your arcane pool to activate that item as an
immediate action (if you dont know the items abilities
then one ability is activated at random).
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Insightful Redoubt (Combat)

Suddenly, I knew the best place to put my shield.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana (arcane
redoubt) class features.

Languor Strike (General)

I do not have power, I take power.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana, spellstrike
class features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 4 ranks,
base attack bonus +3.
Benefit: You can spend 2 points from your arcane pool
as a swift action to imbue your weapon with a black aura
of negative energy that suppresses the life force of any
living creature you touch with it (you are unaffected by
your own languor strike). If the weapon strikes a
creature within the next minute, it discharges that aura
and the subject gains 1 negative level. Assuming the
subject survives, it regains the lost level after a number
of minutes equal to your magus class level (maximum 10
minutes). Usually, negative levels have a chance of
becoming permanent, but the negative levels from
languor strike dont last long enough to do so.
An undead creature touched by the effect gains 5
temporary hit points for 1 hour.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Item Absorption (General)

Its power will become my power.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and cannibalize spell class
features.
Benefit: As a standard action, you can expend 1 point
from your arcane pool and drain one charge from a
magic item you are wielding and can activate. If you do,
you gain a number of arcane pool points based on a spell
level the item can generate based on expending that
charge. The amount you gain is equal to the amount you
would have gained if you had siphoned power from a
prepared spell to restore your arcane pool using your
cannibalize spell or improved cannibalize spell class
feature on that spell. (For example, you could expend a
point from your arcane pool and absorb power from a

Ley Line Arcana (General)

I seek the eldritch sites of the world.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool class feature.
Benefit: Three times per day, though only once per site
per day, you can draw on any location that has a
permanent magical or supernatural effect. With a swift
action, you absorb some of the ambient energy and
regain a number of points in your arcane pool equal to
the locations effective spell level or half the effective
caster level (rounded down), whichever is less. Any
points above your arcane pools maximum are lost.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Lich Assault (General)

They buried him alive.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana, spellstrike
class features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 11
ranks, base attack bonus +8.
Benefit: You can spend 6 points from your arcane pool
as a standard action, enveloping one of your hands or
one of your melee weapons with a dull grey aura of
energy. You can then make a melee touch or melee
weapon attack as part of that standard action. If it
successfully hits a living opponent he must make a
successful Fortitude save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class
level + your Int modifier) or be permanently paralyzed;
remove paralysis or any spell that can remove a curse
can free the victim (see the bestow curse spell
description) with a DC equal to 15 + your magus class
level. The effect cannot be dispelled. Anyone paralyzed
by this spell seems dead, though a DC 20 Perception
check or a DC 15 Heal check reveals that the victim is
still alive. A creature that makes a successful save
against this ability is immune to the effects of your use
of this feat for 24 hours. This works exactly as if you had
cast a touch spell, including holding the charge if you
miss the attack roll, and can be used with spell combat
in place of casting a standard action spell.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Malevolence and Misery

Malevolence and Misery (General)

You shall now suffer more than you otherwise would.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and hex magus class
features.
Benefit: As a swift action, you expend 1 point from
your arcane pool and unleash a special curse upon a foe.
The target must be visible to you and be within 60 feet.
Any time the target of your malevolence and misery
curse is missed by an attack roll, there is a 20% chance
that it actually hit; this effect lasts for 1 hour. A
successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your magus class level
+ your Int modifier) negates the effect. If an opponent
makes a successful save it cannot be affected by your
malevolence and misery curse for 24 hours. This ability
does not stack with itself. Any spell or effect that
removes bestow curse eliminates the effect of a
malevolence and misery curse.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Lorestrike Arcana (General)

You never know someone until you fight them.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and lorestrike class
features.
Benefit: Whenever you score a critical hit against a
target, or a target fails a saving throw against a spell you
cast, you may expend 1 point from your arcane pool to
gain additional information about the target. Each time
this occurs you may choose to gain the same
information you would from examining a target with
any divination spell on your known bard spell list. Treat
this as though you had examined the target for 3 rounds
and as if the target had failed both its save and its spell
resistance against that spell.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Guile, not strength.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana
(maneuver mastery) class features.
Benefit: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity
when you attempt a combat maneuver if you expend 2
points from your magus arcane pool (which you do as a
free action). As part of the expenditure, you can also
choose to use your Intelligence modifier in place of your
Strength modifier when attempting the maneuver.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Maximized Touch (General)

They were overwhelmed by the power of my vampiric
touch.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana
(empowered spell) class features, magus 6.

arcane pool, then, as a free action, any touch range spell
on the magus spell list that you cast is maximized. You
may use Maximized Touch three times per day.

long as you meet its prerequisites.

Nauseating Assault (General)

Every foul smell ever experience, afflicting him all at
once.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana, spellstrike
class features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 5 ranks,
base attack bonus +3.
Benefit: You can spend 3 points from your arcane pool
as a standard action, enveloping one of your hands or
one of your melee weapons with a sickly green aura of
energy. You can then make a melee touch or melee
weapon attack as part of that standard action. If it
successfully hits your opponent, he must make a
successful Fortitude save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class
level + your Int modifier) or be nauseated for 1d4
rounds. A creature that makes a successful save against
this ability is immune to the effects of your use of this
feat for 24 hours. This works exactly as if you had cast a
touch spell, including holding the charge if you miss the
attack roll, and can be used with spell combat in place of
casting a standard action spell.

Obey Your Name (General)

Perilous Strike (Combat)

You will carry out my orders.

Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana class
features, True Name Arcana, Knowledge (arcana) or
Spellcraft 6 ranks, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: At 6th level, if you know a living creatures
true name, you can expend 1 point from your arcane
pool (or one use of True Name Arcana) as a swift action
to force it to carry out some service or to refrain from
some action or course of activity, as desired. If the true
name was not learned via True Name Arcana the subject
can make a Will saving throw to resist (DC 10 + 1/2 your
magus class level + your Int modifier). The subject must
be able to understand you. While you cannot compel a
subject to kill itself or perform acts that would result in
certain death, you can compel almost any other activity.
The subject must follow the given instructions until the
task is completed, no matter how long it takes. If the
instructions involve some open-ended task that the
subject cannot complete through its own actions, the
subject remains compelled for a maximum of one day
per magus class level you possess. Note that a clever
subject can subvert some instructions.
If something prevents the subject from obeying the
instructions for a whole day, it takes 3d6 points of
damage each day it does not attempt to follow them.
Additionally, each day it must succeed at a Fortitude
saving throw (same DC). A failure means it becomes
sickened and cannot benefit from any magical healing
effects. Starting on the second day, a sickened creature
must succeed at a Fortitude save each day or become is
disabled (as if she had 0 hit points). These effects
remain until the day after the subject attempts to
resume the task. This curse cannot be dispelled, but it
can be removed with a break enchantment, limited
wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish spell, it also ends if
you die. If the creature fails its Will save against this
ability or is granted no save, you cannot use this ability
on that given subject a second time. If a creature makes
its saving throw, that creature is immune to your use of
this feat for 24 hours.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

This is really, really going to hurt.

Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana (accurate
strike) class features, magus 9.
Benefit: By expending an additional 2 points from your
arcane pool you can use accurate strike as an immediate
action, in addition, if your first attack with accurate
strike successfully hits your opponent, that creature
must make a successful Fortitude save (DC 10 +1/2 your
magus class level + your Int modifier) or suffer 2d6
points of Con damage +1d6 Con bleed damage. If a
creature makes a successful saving throw against your
Perilous Strike, that creature is immune to your Perilous
Strike (though not your accurate strikes) for 24 hours.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Petrifying Assault (General)

Stone sometimes is easier to kill.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana, spellstrike
class features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 16
ranks, base attack bonus +12.
Benefit: You can spend 6 points from your arcane pool
as a standard action, enveloping one of your hands or
one of your melee weapons with a soft yellow aura of
energy. You can then make a melee touch or melee
weapon attack as part of that standard action. If you
successfully hit, your opponent must make a successful
Fort save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class level + your Int
modifier) or the subject, along with all its carried gear,
turns into a mindless, inert stone statue. If the stone
statue resulting from this effect is broken or damaged,
the subject (if ever returned to its original state) has
similar damage or deformities. The creature is not dead,
but it does not seem to be alive either when viewed with
spells such as deathwatch. A creature that makes a
successful save against this ability is immune to the
effects of your use of this ability for 24 hours. This works
exactly as if you had cast a touch spell, including holding
the charge if you miss the attack roll, and can be used
with spell combat in place of casting a standard action
spell.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Odin Sleep (General)

496089

Piercing Strike (General)

I lay down my spear and hat, to recover in sleep.

Prerequisites: Arcane pool, knowledge pool, and
magus arcana class features, Knowledge (arcana) or
Spellcraft 11 ranks, base attack bonus +8.
Benefit: Once per day you may enter an 8 hour sleep
from which you cannot be awakened. During this sleep
you regain all your arcane pool points, and gain a
secondary save to remove all detrimental afflictions,
conditions, spells, and effects. You must accept the
results of the second saving throw even if it is worse. In
addition, you are cured of a number of hit points equal
to four times your magus class level.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Once more through the breach.

Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana (pool
strike) class features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 6
ranks, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: Three times per day, you can expend a point
from your arcane pool as a free action whenever you cast
a touch spell that causes hit point damage or you use the
pool strike magus arcana. If you do, you automatically
dispel all abjuration spells protecting the target and all
protective spells that have the force descriptor (such as
mage armor or shield) of 3rd level or less. It even
suppresses bracers of armor and rings of protection for
1d4+1 rounds. This feat has no effect on spells that do
not deal hit point damage.

Precise Force (General)

Moving mountains is so small minded.
Prerequisites: Force athame and improved spell
combat class features.
Benefit: Once per day you can expend 1 point from
your arcane pool as a standard action (which provokes
an attack of opportunity) and you gain a very fine
amount of precise control over your innate force magic
to affect some part of a creatures internal body
structure (blocking a blood vessel, pinching an artery,
causing an impact inside a creatures brain etc.). The
target must be within 30 feet and you must make a
successful ranged touch attack with a -10 penalty. If
your attack is successful you deal 1d3 points of
Constitution damage per round; the target is allowed a
Fortitude save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class level +
your Int modifier) to ignore the effect. Spell resistance
applies normally to this effect; use your magus class
level as your caster level. This effect can last 1 round per
magus class level you possess, but it ends if you cease
concentration.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Prescient Aegis (General)

I saw it coming.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana
(prescient defense) class features, magus 9.
Benefit: You can expend a point from your arcane pool
as an immediate action when you are required to
attempt a Reflex saving throw; if you do, you take only
half damage from any attack, spell, or ability that
required the save. You are still allowed a normal saving
throw; you simply take half of whatever damage you
normally would, based on the result of that saving
throw. If the attack, spell, or ability has a non-damaging
effect, you suffer the appropriate effect based on the
saving throw result.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Profane Arcana

Profane Arcana (General)

The succubus taught it to me.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana class
features, Diabolic Arcana, Knowledge (planes or
religion) 6 ranks, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: Once per day as a full-round action, you may
expend 1 point from your arcane pool to grant a profane
gift to a willing humanoid creature by touching it for 1
full round. The target gains a +2 profane bonus to an
ability score of its choice for 1 hour per magus class level
you possess. A single creature may have no more than
one profane gift from you at a time. A profane gift is
removed by dispel good or dispel chaos. You can remove
it as well as a free action (causing 2d6 Charisma drain to
the victim, no save).
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites. Use of this feat,
subject to GM adjudication, slowly changes your
alignment to lawful evil.

Prescient Assault (Combat)

Everything has a weakness; its simply a matter of
finding it.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana
(prescient attack) class features, magus 6.
Benefit: You must use a piercing weapon with which
you are proficient to use this feat. After a full round of
doing nothing but analyzing your opponent, you can
expend a point from your arcane pool to bypass either
that opponents armor or that opponents natural armor
with your next attack.
Special: You gain no benefit from the use of this ability
if your opponent has the benefits of cover or
concealment. You may select this feat as a magus arcana
so long as you meet its prerequisites.

Quarterstaff Aegis (General)

Always part old men from their walking sticks.
Always!
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and quarterstaff defense
class features.
Benefit: The price bonuses for the magical special
properties of your staff are included in calculating your

Prerequisites: Arcane pool class feature; magus

arcana (spellbreaker) class feature or Spellbreaker;
ability to cast dispel magic.
Benefit: If you successfully hit a foe with a melee,
ranged, or touch attack, you can expend a point from
your arcane pool as a swift action. If you do you, you
immediately make a single dispel check (1d20 + class
level) against all illusion or transmutation (polymorph)
spells or spell-like abilities, and all abilities that function
as illusion or transmutation (polymorph) spells
(including the change shape supernatural ability), the
target has in effect. On a successful check, the illusion
and polymorph abilities end and are suppressed as if by
an anti-magic shell for 1 round per magus class level
you possess.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

shield bonus from your quarterstaff defense class

feature. You can expend a point from your arcane pool
as a free action, and for 1 minute the shield bonus
granted by quarterstaff defense becomes a deflection
bonus.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Quarterstaff
Quarterstaff Grandmaster (Combat)
(Combat)
I have come far, using only soft speech and this big
stick. Thwack!
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and quarterstaff master
class features.
Benefit: You can expend 1 point from your arcane pool
as a free action, and for 1 minute, when you wield your
quarterstaff as a one-handed weapon, you can use the
staff as a double weapon. If you expend an additional
point from your arcane pool, then for that minute the
enhancement and special properties on one end of the
weapon are duplicated on the other end. If you expend a
third point from your arcane pool, then for 1 minute the
enhancement and special properties on one end of the
weapon are duplicated on the other end (enhancement
bonuses and duplicated special properties do not stack).
The second and third expenditures of points from your
arcane pool are also free actions.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Riven Force (General)

With but a thought, I pummeled him to death.
Prerequisite: Force athame class feature.
Benefit: As part of a swift action, you sacrifice a spell to
power this effect; you may make a ranged attack at a
single target. For each level of the spell used to power
this effect, the ranged attack deals 1d4 points of force
damage and adds 10 feet to the maximum range. Thus if
you sacrifice a 3rd level spell you gain a single ranged
attack dealing 3d4 at a maximum of 30 feet. This is a
force effect. No save is allowed against this effect, but
spell resistance applies normally. Use your magus class
level as your caster level.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Quickened Shieldspell (General)

My bond with my shield is so close it responds with the
speed of my thoughts."
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and spellshield class
features.
Benefit: Once per day if you spend 1 point from your
arcane pool the activation time of the spell stored with
your spellshield class feature is the same as if the spell
had been modified with the Quicken Spell feat. (A spell
whose casting time is more than 1 round or 1 full-round
action cannot be affected by this feat.)
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

496091

Sapping Assault (General)

Sometimes you want prisoners, not corpses.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana, spellstrike
class features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 11
ranks, base attack bonus +8.
Benefit: You can spend 6 points from your arcane pool
as a standard action, enveloping one of your hands or
one of your melee weapons with a soft white aura of
energy. You can then make a melee touch or melee
weapon attack as part of that standard action. If you
successfully hit your opponent, all damage dealt is
transformed into nonlethal damage and your opponent
must make a successful Fort save (DC 10 +1/2 your
magus class level + your Int modifier) or take an
additional 12d6 points of nonlethal damage + 1 point per
magus class level you possess. If the targets Fortitude
saving throw succeeds, it instead takes an additional 3d6
points of nonlethal damage + 1 point per magus class
level you possess. Any creature rendered unconscious by
this damage remains unconscious until this effect is
dismissed by you. Remove curse does not remove this
unconscious condition. Greater restoration, heal,
limited wish, miracle, or wish can restore the creature.
A creature that makes a successful save against this
ability is immune to the effects of your use of this ability
for 24 hours. This works exactly as if you had cast a
touch spell, including holding the charge if you miss the

Rampant Energy (Combat)

My blade does more than cleave flesh and bone.
Prerequisites: Black blade class feature, base attack
bonus +3, base Will save bonus +4.
Benefit: You can choose to deal an additional 2d6
points of damage when you choose to deal cold,
electricity, or fire with your black blades energy
attunement ability. Or you can instead choose to deal an
additional 1d6 points of damage if you chose to deal
sonic or force damage with your black blades energy
attunement ability. This effect lasts until the start of the
maguss next turn.

attack roll, and can be used with spell combat in place of

casting a standard action spell.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Shield Assault
Assault (Combat)
(Combat)
"I owe my life to my shield; my foes owe their deaths to
it."
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and shield pool class
features.
Benefit: By expending 1 point from your arcane pool as
a free action you can, as part of a full attack action, make
a shield bash, at your highest normal base attack bonus,
with your arcane bonded shield. Even if you wield more
than one arcane bonded shield, however, no more than
one shield bash using Shield Assault is possible in a
single round. You do not lose your shield bonus to AC
when making a shield bash using this feat.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Shield Assimilation (General)

I didnt protect him much, but it will protect me
better.
Prerequisites: Arcane bond, arcane pool, and
sorcerous shield class features.
Benefit: If you perform a special ritual (requiring 8
hours) and expend 1 point from your arcane pool, your
arcane bonded shield can absorb half the total gold piece
value of any magical armor or shield that is part of the
ritual. If it has enough total value to enchant the shield
(per the magic item creation cost rules), it can add the
magical properties of any shield it has absorbed to your
bonded shield (even if your bonded shield is not of
masterwork quality). For example if you and your
bonded shield came across four suits of +1 magical
armor or shields you could absorb 500 gp from each of
them, and then use 1,000 gp to enchant your bonded
shield with a +1 enchantment and store the remaining
1,000 gp for later use. Then when you later come across
a +1 bashing buckler you could absorb 2,000 gp from it
and use that to enchant your bonded shield with the
bashing special ability, increase its enhancement bonus
to +2, or store the remaining 2,000 gp for later use.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Sinister Harbinger

Sinister Harbinger (General)

Meet the harbinger of your misfortune.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and hex magus class
features.
Benefit: A sinister harbinger functions like an
ephemeral, mobile curse that you can place upon your
opponents. It hinders the defenses of your foes, making
them more susceptible to the attacks of yours and your
allies. You create an illusionary image, its appearance is
up to you, but it always appears as some sort of
Medium-sized dark and sinister creature (examples
include a black panther, a zombie, a bahrghest, a
gargoyle, etc.). This control over appearance is not fine
enough to make the illusion appear like a specific
creature and it is always automatically recognized as an
illusion. You and your GM choose and agree on this
appearance when you take this feat and once chosen it
cannot be changed. The illusion also bears a prominent
glowing hex marking it as a sinister harbinger and it can
be identified as such with a successful Knowledge
(arcana) check (DC 15).
Any non-ally (you are considered your own ally)
adjacent to your sinister harbinger takes a -2 profane
penalty on its AC and saves. You can move your sinister
harbinger as a free action on your turn, it follows your
mental directions. It has your speed and movement
modes.
As an illusion, your sinister harbinger is not real, it
cannot attack or otherwise affect any creature or object,
but it does occupy a 5-ft. square. Creatures and objects
can enter the sinister harbingers 5-ft. square without
restriction; it must occupy its own space in order to have
any effect on non-allies. A sinister harbinger cannot
flank or create a flanking situation, nor provoke attacks
of opportunity from its movement.

Shield Strike (Combat)

(Combat)
His sword came down, my shield went up, right into
his face.
Prerequisites: Arcane bond, arcane pool, and
sorcerous shield class features.
Benefit: By expending 1 point from your arcane pool as
a free action, you add your shields enhancement bonus
as an enchantment bonus to its attack and damage rolls
when making a shield bash for 1 round. If you expend 2
points, you do not lose your shield bonus to AC when
making shield bashes during that round.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Staff Assimilation (General)

As an illusion, it cannot be damaged, hindered or

destroyed, though it can be dispelled (DC 11+ your
magus class level), which causes it to be suppressed for
1d4+1 rounds. Effects like an anti-magic shell or mages
disjunction also cause it to be suppressed for the effects
duration (if you are able to leave an area causing such an
effect, you could reestablish the harbinger).
Reestablishing is a standard action, causing it to appear
adjacent to you; this requires you to have at least 1 point
in your arcane pool. The illusion has a range of 120 ft.
and requires line of effect; if you dont have one or the
other it is dismissed, though you can reestablish it. You
can also dismiss a sinister harbinger as a free action (for
example, if you wanted to be invisible and not have a
sinister illusion with a glowing hex following you
around), and later reestablish it.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

What does not kill me, makes my staff stronger.

Prerequisites: Arcane pool and staff weapon class
features.
Benefit: If you perform a special ritual (requiring 8
hours) and expend 1 point from your arcane pool, a
quarterstaff you are wielding can absorb half the total
gold piece value of any magical weapon that is part of
the ritual. If it has enough total value to enchant the
quarterstaff (per the magic item creation cost rules), it
can add the magical properties of any weapon it has
absorbed to your quarterstaff (even if it is not of
masterwork quality). For example if you and your
magical staff came across two +1 magical swords you
could absorb 1,000 gp from each of them, and then use
that 1,000 gp to enchant your quarterstaff with a +1
enchantment and store the remaining 1,000 for later
use. Then when you later come across a +1 flaming
longsword you could absorb 4,000 gp from it and use
that to enchant your quarterstaff with the flaming
special quality or to increase its enhancement bonus to
+2 and store the remaining 2,000 gp for later use (as
you would still need 3,000 gp in value to make it a +2
flaming weapon).
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Spirit of the Black (Gene

(General)
I called forth the eldritch essence of my blade
Skymourn and acid oozed from her edges.
Prerequisites: Black blade and magus arcana class
features, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: Once per day as a standard action you can
expend 1 point from your or your black blades arcane
pool to grant your black blade a +1 special weapon
property for 1 minute per magus level you possess (see
Table: Melee Weapon Special Abilities). The property
chosen must be arcane in nature (the spell that is part of
its item creation cost cannot be limited to divine spell
lists only, such as the unholy weapon special ability, and
must be approved by the GM). These bonuses are added
to any properties the weapon already has, but duplicate
abilities do not stack. The property granted by this feat
is determined when the arcane pool point is spent and
cannot be changed until another point is spent on this
feat if you have multiple uses per day (see Spirit of the
Blade). The black blade imparts none of these special
properties if the weapon is held by anyone other than
you but resumes these properties if returned to you.
These benefits apply to only one end of a double
weapon.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Stalwart of the Arcane (General)

(General)
I fear no magic.
Prerequisites: Hex magus class feature, magus arcana
(stalwart).
Benefit: You gain a morale bonus equal to your
Intelligence bonus (if any) on saving throws against
spells and spell-like abilities.

496093

Magus Arcana
Stalwart (Ex): A hexcrafter magus can use mental and
physical resiliency to avoid certain attacks. If she makes
a Fortitude or Will saving throw against an attack that
has a reduced effect on a successful save, she instead
avoids the effect entirely. This ability can only be used if
the hexcrafter magus is wearing light armor, medium
armor, or no armor. A helpless hexcrafter magus does
not gain the benefit of the stalwart ability. This arcana
can only be selected by a magus with the hexcrafter
archetype (hex magus class feature).

Spirit of the Blade (General)

The dark soul of Skymourn echoed my calling by
enshrouding herself in all five of the arcane energies.
Prerequisites: Black blade and magus arcana class
features, Spirit of the Black, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: For every three levels beyond 6th, your black
blade weapon gains another +1 melee weapon property
bonus from use of the Spirit of the Black feat, to a
maximum of +5 at 18th level. You can also use the Spirit
of the Black feat one additional time per day for every
four magus levels beyond 6th, to a total of four times per
day at 18th level.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

This magus arcana originally appeared in

Rite Publishings The Secrets of the Magus

Stunning Assault (General)

I left him reeling for my allies to kill while I moved on.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana, spellstrike

ranks, base attack bonus +12.
Benefit: You can spend 8 points from your arcane pool
as a standard action, enveloping one of your hands or

one of your melee weapons with a crackling blue aura of

energy. You can then make a melee touch or melee
weapon attack as part of that standard action. If it
successfully hits your opponent, he must make a
successful Fortitude save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class
level + your Int modifier) or be stunned for 1d4 rounds.
A creature that makes a successful save against this
ability is immune to the effects of your use of this feat
for 24 hours. This works exactly as if you had cast a
touch spell, including holding the charge if you miss the
attack roll, and can be used with spell combat in place of
casting a standard action spell.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Teleport Strike (General)

My blade would not wait for me to give her a taste of
your blood, so she went on her own.
Prerequisites: Black blade class feature, ability to cast
4th level arcane spells, base attack bonus +7, base Will
save bonus +7.
Benefit: Once per day as a swift action, you can expend
an arcane point from your or your black blades arcane
pool, and you teleport your black blade so that it arrives
half embedded in a single target creature and then
reappears in your hand. You must be wielding your
black blade and be able to see the target creature and the
target must be within close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 magus
levels). The target creature must make a successful Will
save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class level + your Int
modifier) or suffer 2d6 points of Constitution damage
and gain the bleed condition (1 point of Constitution
damage). In addition, the creature is stunned for one
round (until the beginning of your next turn).

True Name Arcana

creature whose true name you do not know, the points
that would normally be required from your arcane pool
are spent automatically. If you pool is empty you suffer
1d6 points of damage per point that would have been
spent (no save).
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Translocation Sensitivity (General)

I sense a disturbance in the fabric of reality.
Prerequisite: Arcane pool and magus arcana class
features, the ability to cast dimension door, Knowledge
(arcana) or Spellcraft 9 ranks, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: You immediately know the destination of the
most recent spell with the teleportation subschool cast
within the last 24 hours, and within 30 ft of you, and can
telepathically impart that knowledge to one other
creature. You know the location well enough to teleport
to it immediately with no chance of error, although the
feat confers no ability to teleport.

496094

Vampiric
Vampiric Arcana (General)
Your gifts can feed my power.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana class
features; black blade, spell recall or cannibalize spell
class feature; Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 6 ranks,
base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: You can spend 1 point from your arcane pool
as a standard action, enveloping one of your hands or
one of your melee weapons with a red and black aura of
energy. You can then make a melee touch or melee
weapon attack as part of that standard action. If it
successfully hits your opponent he must make a
successful Will save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class level
+ your Int modifier) or he loses up to 5 limited number
of uses per day from any abilities he possesses (start
with the highest level abilities and work your way
down). You regain a number of points in your arcane
pool equal to the number of limited uses per day lost.
Any points above your arcane pools maximum are lost.
You can use this ability only once per day, but it is only
considered used if the opponent successfully suffers
from the loss of limited uses per day inflicted by this

True Name Arcana (General)

Words have meaning, and names have power.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool class feature.
Benefit: You can spend one point from your arcane
pool as a move action. If you do, you learn the true name
of one target living creature that is within 60 feet of you
unless that living creature makes a successful Will save
(DC 10 +1/2 your class level + your Int modifier). If you
learn a living creatures true name, you can cause your
magus arcana to work in reference to that living creature
without expending points from your arcane pool a
number of times per day equal to 3+ your Intelligence
modifier. If the magus arcana affects any other object or

creature is immune to your use of this feat for 24 hours.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Weapon Assimilation (General)

Their craft shall become a part of my craft.
Prerequisites: Arcane bond, arcane pool and master
smith class features.
Benefit: If you perform a special ritual (requiring 8
hours) and expend 1 point from your arcane pool, your
arcane bonded weapon can absorb half the total gold
piece value of any magical weapon that is part of the
ritual. If it has enough total value to enchant the arcane
bonded weapon (per the magic item creation cost rules),
it can add the magical properties of any weapon it has
absorbed to your arcane bonded weapon even if it is not
of masterwork quality. For example if you and your
arcane bonded weapon came across two +1 magical
swords you could absorb 1,000 gp from each of them,
and then use that 1,000 gp to enchant your arcane
bonded weapon with a +1 enchantment and store the
remaining 1,000 for later use. Then when you later come
across a +1 flaming longsword you could absorb 4,000
gp from it and use that to enchant your arcane bonded
weapon with the flaming special quality or to increase its
enhancement bonus to +2 and store the remaining
2,000 gp for later use (as you would still need 3,000 gp
in value to make it a +2 flaming weapon).
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Wracking Grasp (General)

Weapon Assimilation

I dont want him dead, I want him to suffer.

Prerequisites: Arcane pool, magus arcana (lingering
pain), Spellstrike, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 5
ranks, base attack bonus +3
Benefit: You can expend a point from your arcane pool
as a free action whenever you cast a touch spell that
causes hit point damage or you use the pool strike
magus arcana. If you do, the hit point damage that the
touch spell or pool strike deals is transformed into
nonlethal damage. In addition, if your opponent fails a
Fortitude save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class level +
your Int modifier) you deal 1 point of Dexterity damage
per level of the spell or point of arcana spent as part of
the spell strike. This feat has no effect on spells that do
not deal hit point damage.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

rolls and on initiative, skill, and ability checks. In

addition, the target creatures speed suffers a 10-ft.
circumstance penalty (to a minimum speed of 5 ft.).
These effects last for a number of rounds equal to your
magus class level.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Wracking Punishment (General)

I am not a torturer; I am a pain technician.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana
(lingering pain) class features, Wracking Pain,
Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 10 ranks, base attack
bonus +7.
Benefit: You can expend 2 additional points from your
arcane pool as a free action when using your lingering
pain ability. If you do, the opponent you injured must
make a successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your magus
class level + your Int modifier) or he suffers the
nauseated condition. In addition, the target creatures
speed suffers a 30-ft. circumstance penalty to speed (to
a minimum speed of 5 ft.). These effects last for a
number of rounds equal to your magus class level.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so
long as you meet its prerequisites.

Wracking Pain (General)

By my arcana you shall know torment.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana
(lingering pain) class features.
Benefit: You can expend an additional point from your
arcane pool as a free action when using your lingering
pain ability. If you do, the opponent you injured must
make a successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your magus
class level + your Int modifier) or he suffers wracking
pains that impose a 4 circumstance penalty on attack

Wracking Restraints (General)

Stay. Good boy.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana class
features, Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 5 ranks, base
attack bonus +3.
Benefits: You can spend 4 points from your arcane
pool as a standard action. You can then make a melee
touch or melee weapon attack as part of that standard
action. If you hit successfully, your opponent must make
a successful Will save (DC 10 +1/2 your magus class
level + your Int modifier) or your opponent is ensnared
in manacles, chains and ropes made from a strange
arcane material. Such creatures are rendered immobile
(and are subsequently helpless, though they can perform
purely mental actions); they can attempt a Combat
Maneuver check or an Escape Artist check (DC 10 +
your magus class level + your Int modifier) to break
these arcane bonds as a standard action. This works
exactly as if you had cast a touch spell, such as for
holding the charge if you miss the attack roll, and can be
used with spell combat in place of casting a standard
action spell.
Special: You may select this feat as a magus arcana so

Wracking Submission (General)

To punish you, to teach you, to subdue you.
Prerequisites: Arcane pool and magus arcana
(lingering pain) class features, Wracking Pain,
Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft 5 ranks, base attack
bonus +3.
Benefit: You can expend an additional point from your
arcane pool as a free action when using your lingering
pain ability. If you do, the opponent you injured must
make a successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your magus
class level + your Int modifier) or be cursed. This curse
inflicts the penalties of your Wracking Pain feat (or
Wracking Punishment if you possess that feat) when the
victim activates one of its named class abilities or named
universal
monster
abilities
(see
Pathfinder
Roleplaying Game Bestiary), spoken at the time you
activate Wracking Submission. Your opponent does not
get a secondary save against the effects of those feats,
having already failed the initial save. The caster level of
the curse is equal to your magus class level. You can use
this ability only once per day but it is only considered
used if you successfully curse an opponent. If a creature
makes its saving throw, that creature is immune to your
use of this feat for 24 hours. The curse bestowed by this
spell cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with a
break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove
curse, or wish spell. If you are at least a 9th level magus,
the DC to remove the curse is increased by +5. If you are
at least a 3th level magus, you can curse one named
