Fighting Style: Spellsword

A Spellsword weaves the arts of Magecraft with the arts of the blade.

Req. Magecraft 3 Dexterity 3 Melee Weapons 3

Rank 1	Arcane Strikes	When wielding a one-handed weapon (and nothing in the other), all of your basic attacks become charged with arcane energy. If an attack deals damage, you gain 1 Arcane Charge (to a maximum of Rank in this style) that lasts one hour. When possessing Arcane Charges, basic attacks gain an arcane bonus to your attack equal to the number of charges. This stacks with any existing enhancement bonus on the weapon.
Rank 2	Combat Casting	You may expend a number of Arcane Charges to cast a spell equal to or below that rank (to a maximum of Rank 3) as a Fast Action. You may not use Combat Casting and still gain an Arcane Charge on the same turn.
Rank 3	Spellshield	When wielding a one-handed weapon (and nothing in the other), you gain +1 magic damage reduction on any turn you have cast a spell.
Rank 4	Blade Dance	Your character may move before and after an Arcane Strike or Combat Casting a spell. The total distance moved must not exceed their maximum Speed.
Rank 5	Quicken Charge	When gaining the first Arcane Charge, you now gain 2 instead.
