Abilities

Attack of Opportunity
Arcane Cascade (concentrate, stance) —
Capture Magic
Spellstrike — The Blade magi channels a spell into a melee Strike to deliver a magically charged attack. The Blade magi casts Acid Splash, Ray of Frost, or Vampiric Feast. The effects of the spell don't occur immediately but are imbued into the Blade magi's attack instead. The Blade magi makes a melee Strike, which gains the arcane trait. The spell is coupled with the attack, using the Blade magi's attack roll to determine the effects of both the Strike and the spell. This counts as two attacks for their multiple attack penalty, but the penalty isn't applied until after the magus has completed the Spellstrike. After using Spellstrike, the Blade magi can't do so again until they recharge this ability as a single action, which has the concentrate trait. The Blade magi also recharges their Spellstrike when they cast Thunderous Strike.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA dedicated frontline tank can absorb the alpha strike while this reach fighter's Reactive Strike punishes anyone trying to retreat, and its Spellstrike picks off secondary targets.
SnareLANDA controller that restrains or slows targets keeps them within this fighter's reach so Reactive Strike and Spellstrike both land more reliably.
SniperLANDA ranged attacker can focus down foes pinned in melee reach, splitting the enemy's defensive attention.

PUNISHES

✖ retreating from melee✖ isolated spellcasters✖ low fortitude saves
Avoid pairing with another reach-based melee controller; overlapping threat zones crowd the same battlefield space.
