Spell Defense (Sp): A magus of 17th level or higher can expend an arcane point from his weapon’s arcane pool as a free action he then gains SR equal to his black blade’s ego until the start of his next turn. He cannot use this ability if he is exhausted. If he is fatigued, he becomes exhausted instead. If he fails the saving throw, the magus becomes fatigued (but can try again). If the magus succeeds, he regains 1 point to his arcane pool for every 2 points he saps from his black blade. Doing so takes a full-round action and the magus must succeed at a Will saving throw with a DC equal to the black blade’s ego.

Teleport Blade (Sp): As a standard action, a magus of 9th level or higher can expend an arcane point from his or his black blade’s arcane pool, and can call his black blade from as far as 1 mile away, causing it to instantaneously teleport to his hand. This effect lasts until the start of the magus’s next turn. He can spend 2 points from the black blade’s arcane pool to deal sonic or force damage instead of weapon damage. The ritual takes 24 hours to complete.Įnergy Attunement (Su): At 5th level, as a free action, a magus can spend a point of his black blade’s arcane pool to have it deal one of the following types of damage instead of weapon damage: cold, electricity, or fire.

For every four levels beyond 1st, this ability gives the black blade another +1 on damage rolls. A black blade normally refuses to use any of its abilities when wielded by anyone other than its magus, and acts as a masterwork weapon of its type.Īlertness (Ex): While a magus is wielding his black blade, he gains the Alertness feat.īlack Blade Strike (Sp): As a free action, the magus can spend a point from the black blade’s arcane pool to grant the black blade a +1 bonus on damage rolls for 1 minute.
